Careers

Consider Joining Us – We are hiring

If you have an interest in joining the lab, send an email with attached CV, statement of research interests and contact information for three references to Dr. Clint L. Miller – clintm at virginia.edu.

Open Positions

Research Scientist in Computational and Functional Genomics – Department of Genome Sciences

We are looking to hire a research scientist with a background in molecular biology or genetics to apply functional genomic analyses to investigate inherited vascular diseases and cardiomyopathies. Current projects include the application of single-nucleus (e.g., snATAC/snRNA-seq, snCUT&Tag) and spatial (spatial transcriptomics, proteomics) genomic analyses of healthy and diseased subjects of ancestrally diverse backgrounds.

Graduate Students

We are currently recruiting graduate students and medical students to complete their PhD theses in the lab. Prospective students should first apply through the Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) program or other appropriate programs (e.g. MSTP, BME, CE, etc). Prospective students can directly contact Dr. Miller for rotation opportunities.

Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate students are welcome to join the lab to gain wet lab and computational research training and experience and receive course credit (BIOL 4910). To maximize this opportunity, undergraduate students are expected to devote at least 8 hours per weeks to their project. Please contact Dr. Miller for more details on available projects.

Summer Internship

Undergraduate students from outside of UVA are welcome to conduct summer research in the lab. Eligible students are encouraged to apply to the Summer Research Internship Program (SRIP) . Please email Dr. Miller for inquiries.

About Us

We are a highly collaborative group working at the interface of biology, medicine, and computation, investigating mechanisms underlying the development of complex cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We leverage large-scale population-based human genetics and genomics datasets, as well as custom cohort-based datasets to investigate genetic, cellular, and biological mechanisms and identify novel therapeutic targets and/or biomarkers for CVD.

The Miller Lab is dedicated to cultivating an inclusive, respectful, and supportive environment where each member can thrive and contribute to scientific innovation and advancement. We believe that diversity in all forms—whether it be race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, socioeconomic background, belief system, or physical ability—enriches our research by providing unique perspectives and creative ideas.

The Miller Lab of Cardiovascular Genomics is located in the Department of Genome Science (DGS) at the University of Virginia School of Medicine (SOM).
The DGS, formerly Center For Public Health Genomics (CPHG), was established in 2007 and focuses on translational and personalized medicine by moving gene discovery (and the manner in which genes interact with environment) into the delivery of health care and of disease prevention both in clinical settings as well as in the community. The University of Virginia is an equal opportunity employer and minority applicants are encouraged to apply.
