  • Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuroimaging and Integrative Brain Analyses

    University of Pennsylvania · Department of Neuroscience, Perelman School of Medicine

    Leads the project's brain-aging work: building pipelines for 7T ex vivo MRI of archived macaque brain hemispheres across the adult lifespan, and connecting what the scans show to RNA-seq and DNA methylation from the same brains. The results feed the consortium's multidomain ageotype models.

  • Post-Doctoral Associate, Sensory Aging and Function

    New York University · Department of Anthropology

    Studies how the senses age across the lifespan, and how social, environmental and life-history factors shape them, using multi-omic measures from the biobank's long-term samples and from new cross-sectional and longitudinal collections. Time is split between NYU and the University of Calgary for training, sample processing and analysis.

  • Postdoctoral Research Scholar: Multi-Omics, Aging Biology, and Computational Genomics

    Arizona State University · School of Life Sciences

    Two postdocs on the project's multi-omic analyses: why individuals age differently, using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from many tissues of the Cayo Santiago macaques. The focus follows the person, from single-cell and chromatin data to biological-age and mortality models, or the informatics behind reproducible analyses.

  • Postdoctoral position in social environments, genomics, and aging

    Vanderbilt University · Department of Biological Sciences

    Asks why social adversity (isolation, low status, a hard start in life) brings more age-related disease and earlier death, by linking the macaques' long-term social data to DNA methylation, gene expression, proteomic and other molecular data. Mostly computational, with chances to join fieldwork on Cayo Santiago.

  • Postdoctoral position in primate functional genomics

    Vanderbilt University · Department of Biological Sciences

    Leads the project's functional genomics: massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) that test which age-related DNA methylation changes actually alter gene regulation, across tissues, joined with the consortium's methylation, expression, chromatin and proteomic data. Part bench, part sequencing analysis.
