The research will integrate population-scale proteomic, genetic, and phenotypic data using statistical and computational approaches, with the goal of generating biological insights relevant to therapeutic target discovery.\nThe project will leverage unique large-scale proteomics resources at Amgen deCODE genetics, including longitudinal measurements and complementary genomic and multi-omic data. The fellow will develop and apply analytical approaches for causal inference, investigate the genetic regulation of circulating proteins, and study how protein levels change during disease development.\nThe fellow will be a member of the proteomics team at Amgen deCODE genetics, pursuing independent research while collaborating with scientists across human genetics, statistics, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, disease biology, and therapeutic discovery.\nKey Responsibilities include:\nConduct independent research integrating large-scale human proteomic, genetic, and phenotypic data.\nDevelop and apply statistical and computational approaches for causal inference, longitudinal proteomics, and multi-omic data integration.\nIdentify disease-associated proteins, investigate their biological regulation, and prioritize potential therapeutic targets.\nCollaborate with multidisciplinary scientists across Amgen deCODE genetics and Amgen Research.\nPresent scientific findings at internal and external scientific forums and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.\nThis is a four-year fellowship within the Amgen Research & Development Postdoctoral Program, designed to provide advanced scientific training and career development opportunities for outstanding early-career researchers.\nWhat We Expect of You\nThe Postdoctoral Fellow we seek is a computational scientist with the following qualifications:\nBasic Qualifications\nDoctorate degree (PhD) completed prior to the start date in Statistics, Statistical Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Data Science, or a related quantitative or biomedical discipline.\nPreferred Qualifications\nStrong record of scientific achievement demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations.\nExpertise in statistical genetics, bioinformatics, computational biology, proteomics, or a related quantitative field.\nExperience analyzing large-scale human genetic, proteomic, or other high-dimensional biomedical datasets.\nFamiliarity with genome-wide association studies, quantitative trait locus analysis, Mendelian Randomization, or related statistical genetic methods is desirable.\nStrong programming skills in R, Python, or similar languages; experience with Linux and high-performance computing is desirable.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment.\nWhat You Can Expect From Us\nThe Amgen Research & Development Postdoctoral Program provides an environment for fellows to pursue independent scientific research while receiving mentorship and training from scientists across multiple disciplines. Fellows are encouraged to develop original research ideas, lead peer-reviewed publications, and present their work at scientific conferences and internal research forums.\nAt Amgen deCODE genetics, the fellow will join a collaborative scientific community with extensive expertise in population-scale human genetics, proteomics, statistics, and computational biology. The research environment provides access to large-scale proteomic, genomic, phenotypic, and multi-omic datasets and established computational infrastructure.\nThe fellowship is designed to provide both advanced scientific training and opportunities for professional development, preparing fellows for future careers in academia, biotechnology, or the pharmaceutical industry.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4212,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Bioinformatics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T03:09:35Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/decode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/decode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T21:06:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":32080,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1876028},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1876028"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdecode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdecode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdecode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/decode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdecode-genetics-postdoctoral-fellow-proteomics"}]}
