A postdoctoral position focused on chronic pain is available in the Department of Pain and Translational Symptom Science (PTSS) at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
The department has a vibrant and collaborative group of pain and symptom scientists who apply cutting-edge methods in basic, translational, and clinical research. The department is also home to a National Institute for Nursing Research (NINR) P30-funded Omics Associated with Self-Management Interventions for Symptoms (OASIS) Center. In addition, faculty and trainees in the PTSS department are members of the interdisciplinary, campus-wide Center to Advance Chronic Pain Research (CACPR). CACPR hosts bi-weekly pain interest group seminars and annual symposia on a variety of chronic pain topics.
We seek a motivated postdoctoral student with experience and formal training in pain physiology, bioinformatics and the analysis of large omics datasets to join our group.
Primary responsibilities:
- Research interests aligned with omics associated with chronic pain conditions.
- Substantively contribute to the research and scholarship efforts of the OASIS Center and PTSS department through the dissemination of peer-reviewed, data-based publications.
- Actively participate in PTSS department and CACPR activities.
