Postdoctoral Fellowship in Molecular Epidemiology
Description
A full time Post Doc Fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Kelly Brunst in the Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences at the University of Cincinnati in the College of Medicine. She is seeking a talented and strongly self-motivated individual to join her transdisciplinary research team studying the effects of chemical (e.g., ambient air pollution/temperature, fluoride) and non-chemical (e.g., psychosocial stressors, social constructs) exposures on the programming of biological mechanisms related to neurodevelopment in children.
The lab works to identify molecular biomarkers using various ‘omics-platforms (i.e., epigenomic, mitochondriomics) that can be used to predict those children at increased risk for adverse outcomes resulting from environmental exposures. Projects in the lab include 1) The role of epigenetics in linking long-term exposure to air pollution/ambient temperature and mental health, 2) Longitudinal exposure to fluoride and its impact on neurodevelopment and neuroimaging outcomes, and 3) Environmental exposure-induced biological aging of the brain.
