BACKGROUND

The Division of Genomics and Data Sciences (GDS), an integral component of the Arthritis and Clinical Immunology (ACI) Research Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF), seeks to understand the fundamental question of how genotype influences phenotype in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Ongoing research in the division includes investigations into the mechanisms by which long non-coding RNAs influence autoimmune cell gene expression and function; the genetic characterization of systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, Sjögren's syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis; the impact of genetic variation on epigenome function and 3D chromatin topography in the context of autoimmunity and inflammation; and the application of statistical, bioinformatic, machine learning, deep learning, and text-mining approaches to define disease-associated gene networks. We invite qualified candidates that share our interests and mission for clarifying how genotype influences phenotype in the context of autoimmunity and inflammation to apply for established Assistant or Associate Member level positions (Assistant or Associate Professor equivalent).

GDS-ACI investigators have access to several outstanding OMRF Core facilities including the CAP-accredited Clinical Genomics Center, Quantitative Data Analysis Core, Immunophenotyping Core, Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting Core, and Imaging Core. Extensive autoimmune disease and control sample collections are available in the CAP-accredited OMRF Biorepository: Sample Procurement and Processing Core, and growing longitudinal patient cohorts of SLE, UCTD, ILE, autoimmune disease pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis are also available through state-of-the-art clinical facilities. A NIAID-designated Autoimmune Centers of Excellence (U19), NIAMS Oklahoma Rheumatic Diseases Research Cores Center (P30), NIGMS Oklahoma Shared Clinical and Translational Resources (U54), NIAID Autoimmunity Prevention Center (U01), NIAMS Oklahoma Sjögren's Syndrome Center of Research Translation (P50), and four NIH Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence (P20/P30) grants currently support ACI-GDS.

REQUIREMENTS

Minimum Qualifications:
Candidates must have an M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree in biological or biomedical science fields, and a minimum of 3 years of relevant post-doctoral research experience or training. Senior candidates will also be considered. Successful candidates must demonstrate research productivity with a strong publication record, and the capacity to define and implement an independent research program via the submission of a research plan/career goal statement or, ideally, with external, peer-reviewed ongoing funding. Selected candidates are expected to maintain a vigorous and independently funded research program that addresses fundamental questions in the field of genetics, genomics, epigenetics and/or data sciences in the general area of autoimmunity and/or inflammation.

PREFERENCES

Preferred Qualifications:
Collaborative and creative candidates whose research interests complement and expand the GDS-ACI investigators' current research expertise will be given highest priority. Candidates with expertise in one or more of the following areas are of particular interest:

Large scale epigenome characterization and mechanisms
The application of large scale CRISPR screens and/or massively parallel reporter assays
The development of human model systems using inducible pluripotent stem cells
Application of genetic engineering approaches to define molecular mechanisms influencing phenotypes
Single cell transcriptomic and epigenomic technologies
Approaches to data integration and visualization in genomic/epigenomic studies

COMPENSATION

Selected candidates will receive a generous, multi-year startup package with significant, sustained salary and research support, as well as access to considerable departmental clinical and translational research infrastructure.
