Summary
Profs. Jessica Faul and Colter Mitchell are seeking a postdoctoral researcher in biosocial research to help examine the role of biology, social, and environmental influences on health from childhood to older age. Our grants use survey and biological data (including blood-based markers, genetic, DNA methylation, and RNA sequencing data) primarily from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study and the Health and Retirement Study to investigate the links between early life social context, biomarkers of aging, and health across the life course. Using existing and new biosocial data from these (and several other) large, population-based cohorts, in addition to novel data from multiple sources (wearables, administrative linkages, geographic and contextual data), we use a variety of approaches to address our research questions (machine learning, graphical visualization, regression models). Broadly, we are interested in understanding the degree to which biomarkers link early life context to later life health, how the relationships between exposures, biomarkers, and outcomes change over the life course, and to what degree biomarkers are valid and generalizable to population subgroups (by sex, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES)).
Candidates do not need to have skills in all areas listed above and can be focused in one or more areas (e.g. epidemiology, data science, bioinformatics, social science, biostatistics, statistical genetics). Openness to novel approaches, creativity, strong writing and data analysis, programming, and data visualization skills and enjoyment of working as part of scientific team is a must.
Although the position is funded by several existing grants (R01 AG07107 Biological Aging Across the Life Course; R01 AG068937 Social Circumstances and Epigenomics Promoting Health in Three Countries; R01 MD011716 Epigenetics Mediation of Adverse Social Context on Stress Response, Socioemotional Development, and Health; R01 AG060110 Biological Underpinnings of Socioeconomic Differentials in Health and Mortality), the researcher will be encouraged to develop their own independent research projects. Postdoctoral Researchers within our group in the past have developed their own independent careers and profiles while working within the broad themes of our grants and have gone on to prestigious academic positions. Training and support for preparing applications for external funding will be provided.
Background Information
Candidates will join the Population, Neurodevelopment and Genetics (PNG) Program (pngprogram.com) in the Survey Research Center (SRC) at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research (ISR), directed by Prof. Mitchell.
The Institute for Social Research is the largest academic social science research institution in the world. This interdisciplinary community includes researchers from sociology, anthropology, economics, psychology, information and computer science, statistics, geography, public policy, public health, and medicine, among others. SRC is a unique, world-renowned social science research center that conducts investigator-initiated, survey-based research on theoretical and applied problems of both social and scientific importance (see www.src.isr.umich.edu). Scholars have exceptional resources to facilitate research including access to administrative, research, and computer support staff.
Required Qualifications*
- PhD degree or equivalent in data science, computational biology, epidemiology, statistics, psychology, sociology, biostatistics, economics, computer science, bioinformatics, or other relevant fields.
- Experience with large health science databases or studies
- Analysis experience in R, SAS, STATA, or a similar statistical programming language
- Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a research team
- Demonstrated interpersonal skills with excellent verbal and written English communication skills
Salary range is $70,000 - $85,000/year plus benefits and travel funds to relevant conferences. The appointment will be for one year, with a potential for annual renewal for up to 3 years total, start date is flexible but ideally beginning between January 2023 and August 2023.
Work Locations
Work location is expected to be onsite in Ann Arbor with flexibility for remote work within our overall Center policies.
Additional Information
The Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan seeks to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of our commitment to serve the diverse people of Michigan, to maintain the excellence of the University, and to ground our research in varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning.

Summary
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the area of atomistic simulations and machine learning for design of novel membranes for ammonia synthesis.
The candidate will develop machine-learned interatomic models (ML-IAM) for reacting systems, and deploy resulting models to predict zeolite nanosheet complexing to determine how multi-nanosheet gallery structures govern emergent guest molecule transport and loading selectivity. Efforts will be conducted closely with experimental collaborators, to inform design and synthesis of new high performance membranes. The candidate will also contribute to enhancing the active learning framework used in ML-IAM development, in collaboration with other group members and collaborators. This position is in the Lindsey Lab, within the University of Michigan Chemical Engineering Department. Note: This is a one-year Postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of extension to a maximum of three years; eligible candidates are recent PhDs.
Who We Are
Michigan Engineers are world-class educators, researchers, students and staff who strive to build a people-first future. As part of the nation’s number one public research institution, Michigan Engineering's mission is to provide scientific and technological leadership to the people of the world, develop intellectually curious and socially conscious minds, create collaborative solutions to societal problems, and promote an inclusive and innovative community of service for the common good.
Our vision, mission and values are supported by a people-first engineering framework that guides our work. As Michigan Engineers, we strive to apply excellent engineering fundamentals, integrated expertise and equity-centered values to reimagine what engineering can be, close critical gaps, and elevate all people.

The University of Michigan has a storied legacy of commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). Michigan Engineering models that commitment in our research, culture and collaborations. We seek to recruit and retain a diverse workforce as a reflection of that commitment. Learn more about DEI at Michigan Engineering: https://www.engin.umich.edu/culture/diversity-equity-inclusion/
Responsibilities*
- Perform and analyze first-principles-based simulations (e.g., DFT, DFTB, etc.) to generate reference and validation data enabling ML-IAM development
- Develop reactive ML-IAMs for bulk and nanosheet all-silica zeolites, and candidate guest molecules (e.g., NH3, H2, N2, H2O)
- Employ models to determine nominal free energy profiles for nanosheet stacking arrangements, and guest molecule transport and sorption selectivity
- Contribute to development of advanced multicomponent adsorption models
- Document research; write and publish papers in peer-reviewed journals, and present results within the scientific community, at working group meetings, and at conferences
- Perform other duties as assigned
Required Qualifications*
- PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field
- Self-motivated and excellent interpersonal skills with desire and ability to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary team environment
- Proficient verbal and written communication skills as reflected in effective presentations at seminars, meetings and/or teaching lectures.
- Ability to develop independent research projects through publication of peer-reviewed literature
- Experience with atomistic simulations
- Proficient with Python or similar scripting language
- Experience programming in C++, C, or Fortran, or an equivalent level compiled language
Desired Qualifications*
- Experience simulating nanoporous materials
- Experience with large-scale simulations in high-performance computing environments
- Experience with electronic structure calculations using packages such VASP, NWChem, or similar codes
- Experience developing interatomic models
- Experience modeling reactive systems
Background Screening
The University of Michigan conducts background checks on all job candidates upon acceptance of a contingent offer and may use a third party administrator to conduct background checks. Background checks are performed in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
