The Robert N. Butler Columbia Aging Center, Mailman School of Public Health, seeks a highly qualified and motived researcher for a Staff Associate I (Senior Data Analyst) position to work in its Geroscience Computational Core. The successful candidate will work with a collaborative team of researchers under the direction of Dr. Daniel Belsky, Associate Professor of Epidemiology (in CAC).
The CAC Geroscience Computational Core works with investigators throughout MSPH and CUIMC to design and implement measurement of biological aging within ongoing or planned cohort studies and clinical trials. Primary activities of the core involve analysis of “omics” data, including DNA methylation, RNAseq, and metabolomic and proteomic datasets, along with blood chemistry and organ-function-test data. In addition, the core provides support for data storage and management, training for pre- and post-doctoral fellows, and consultation on development of grants and paper projects. The core is supported by CAC, the CUIMC Aging Initiative, and extramural awards from NIH and charitable foundations and offers excellent working conditions in a collegial and flexible environment, with potential and support for long-term career growth. They ensure excellent work-life balance of team members, with potential for flexible hours and some degree of hybrid work.

The Robert N Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in New York City invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist with interest in geroscience, aging biomarker development, omics analysis of clinical trials, or epidemiology of aging. The fellow will join a research team with active federal and foundation funded projects focused on (1) development of omics-based aging biomarkers (we specialize in molecular speedometers to measure Pace of Aging); (2) omics analysis of clinical trials to determine impact on aging biology; (3) omics analysis of social policy trials to investigate impacts on aging biology; (4) life course epidemiology of aging. The research conducted includes clinical and population-based studies, with extensive epidemiologic, clinical, and genomic data.
The fellow is expected to increase her/his methodological and substantive knowledge of studies of aging, build skills for developing and implementing research studies focused on genomic analysis of biological aging, and lead and co-author manuscript publications. S/he will perform population health research activities, including designing and conducting studies, performing data analyses, preparing manuscripts for submission to peer-reviewed journals, and delivering presentations at scientific meetings. Opportunities to develop and write funding proposals are also available.
