My favorite faculty candidate so far (Brandon) was back on campus today for a second interview. I really hope he gets the job!
Among other things, he's interested in arsenic metabolism genetics, and has connections to a *huge* cohort study in Bangladesh that has enough people for a well-powered GWAS.
If he came to Hopkins, I could do an arsenic GWAS plus the candidate gene work I'm doing already with Ana, and that's enough papers on the same topic for a dissertation! Hello thesis.
ALSO, because he'd be a super junior faculty, I could do "co-advising" and keep my current adviser, who is a big part of why I wanted to come to this school. And arsenic has a lot of epigenetic effects, so I could keep the plan of working on epigenetics with her while still keeping under the arsenic umbrella and working towards a totally coherent (and super interesting!) research program.
