Position Summary

The Department of Biostatistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is seeking a highly motivated and driven Biostatistics Postdoctoral Associate to be supervised by Professor Tanya Garcia.

This position will provide a unique opportunity to be part of an enthusiastic research team working to develop statistical strategies that help researchers estimate, with high accuracy, the disease course for neurodegenerative diseases, so that we may identify when an experimental therapy could best modify the disease course. The ideal postdoctoral researcher is expected to function with relative independence and responsibility, and enjoy being the go-to person to help lab members. The Garcia Lab provides training opportunities so that the postdoctoral researcher can grow their leadership and management skills.

The successful applicant will be responsible for developing and implementing new statistical methods, and testing those methods on our available neurodegenerative disease data sets. The applicant will be responsible for maintaining systems and structures that ensure the methods and results are reproducible.

Minimum Education and Experience Requirements

Applicants must have completed all PhD requirements prior to starting work. The expected start of the position is from November 2023.

Required Qualifications, Competencies, and Experience
