Post Doctoral Fellowships




Post-doctoral fellowships in Molecular Genetics and/or Molecular and Cell Biology.

The interdisciplinary and highly-collaborative faculty of the MIHG aims to discover the genetic influences on human health and apply this knowledge to the practice of medicine through improved diagnostics, treatments, and medications. The faculty has a unique track-record identifying genetic risk factors for more than 60 diseases combined with currently available funding of more than $34 million from the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense.

We are searching for post-doctoral fellows to join our cutting-edge research team with projects in the following areas:
  • Age-related Macular Degeneration
  • Alzheimer disease
  • Autism
  • Cardiovascular genetics
  • Hereditary spastic paraplegias
  • Infectious diseases
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Parkinson disease
  • Peripheral Neuropathies/Axonopathies

Applicants should have experience in molecular genetics and/or molecular biology. A working knowledge in bioinformatics is useful. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team is expected. Applicants with less than two years of postdoctoral experience are preferred.

The Miami Institute for Human Genomics is located in the highly diverse and fast-growing metropolitan area of South Florida near to spectacular outdoor recreational opportunities. We offer competitive post-doctoral salaries and benefits.

Qualified candidates are encouraged to send a Curriculum Vitae to mihgjobs@med.miami.edu with position name in the subject line, or mail to:
