**Working for the Precision Medicine in Autism (PRISMA) Group**

The Precision Medicine in Autism (PRISMA) group, led by Dr. Moreno De Luca, focuses on research, clinical care, education, and community engagement efforts supporting the role of genetics for people with autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions. As part of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Alberta, and within the framework of the CASA Research Chair with Alberta Health Services and CASA Mental Health, our work aims to understand how diverse individually rare but collectively common genetic changes may lead to different psychiatric and medical phenotypes, and identify opportunities to use this information to enhance clinical care and put forth precision medicine interventions for people who need them.

**Position**

The postdoctoral fellow will be a collaborating member of the PRISMA research team, and mentored by Daniel Moreno De Luca, MD, MSc. He/she/they will contribute to grant writing, data analyses, and manuscript publication. In collaboration with the PI and the Physician Learning Program, leverage local datasets (e.g., claims, medications, public health datasets) for implementation science projects around genetic testing for autism; take a leading role in a new initiative in which the PRISMA group will explore challenges and opportunities to expand access to genetic testing for people with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual developmental disorder; and develop strategies to use this genomic information to advance precision medicine strategies in mental health in an equitable way.

**Duties**
- Designs individual experiments, data collection protocols and standards under the supervision of the Principal Investigator.
- Determines most appropriate methodology to meet identified research goals.
- Oversees/conducts data collection. Conducts advanced analysis of research data and results.
- Summarizes, analyzes and organizes data for publication. Participates in the writing of research papers, the preparation of presentations and/or other publications.
- May be responsible for the maintenance and efficient operation of the research group (e.g., specialized assessments or IT requirements, establishing and maintaining access to research databases).
- May guide technical staff, students, or more junior clinical/research fellows in the lab.
- May advise on specialized technical procedures or equipment.
