Fellowships

NHLBI TOPMed Fellowship

The TOPMed Fellowship supports early-career researchers applying AI and machine learning approaches to data-driven questions in heart, lung, blood, and sleep research, with opportunities to work with TOPMed’s rich trans-omics resources.

Previous Opportunities

Computational Associate — Yu and Small Labs Closed

This joint role focused on aging, somatic mosaicism, multimodal phenotyping, machine learning, and statistical genetics using large-scale biomedical datasets.

Candidates were expected to hold a master’s degree in a quantitative field, have strong R or Python skills, and bring excellent organizational, communication, and collaborative abilities.

Postdoctoral Fellow — Zhi Yu Lab Closed

This role invited quantitative scientists to lead projects in aging and somatic mosaicism, multimodal phenotyping and machine learning, or omics and statistical methods.

The position emphasized committed career development, flexible co-mentorship, access to rich multi-cohort data, opportunities to develop mentorship and leadership skills, and support for fellowship and grant applications.

Computational Associate — Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics Closed

This joint opportunity with Dr. Michael Honigberg focused on polygenic risk scores, rare variants, genetic association studies, and classical epidemiology.

The role was designed for post-bachelor’s or post-master’s researchers seeking hands-on experience, scientific writing and presentation opportunities, and preparation for future doctoral training.
