Main Duties / Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with CPMC geneticists, biostatistician, and genetic counselors to develop novel ways of reporting disease risk due to genetic and lifestyle factors and family history.
• Interface with CPMC geneticists and biostatistician to develop a pharmacogenomics reporting system for communicating information on known genetic variants involved in the variation in response to specific drugs.
• Assist in the critical review of current genetic, clinical, epidemiologic and pharmacogenomic literature in order to identify appropriate sources for disease prevalence, disease risk and pharmacogenomic outcomes.
• Work with CPMC biostatistician to assess existing methods for risk estimation and published multigenic models, and devise alternate and innovative approaches.
• Initiate and/or provide input to grant proposals and scientific papers.

• PhD in epidemiology or biostatistics with knowledge of pharmacogenomics
• Coursework, experience or post-doctoral training in pharmacogenomics
