Research Data Manager
Arizona State University · Research Technology Office, Knowledge Enterprise
Looks after the project's research data from intake to sharing: bringing the macaques' multi-omic, immune, social, physiological, survival and reproductive data together in PostgreSQL databases, keeping them accurate and documented, and serving as the main contact for data sharing across the project's cores and sub-projects.

Postdoctoral Researcher in Neuroimaging and Integrative Brain Analyses
University of Pennsylvania · Department of Neuroscience, Perelman School of Medicine
Leads the project's brain-aging work: building pipelines for 7T ex vivo MRI of archived macaque brain hemispheres across the adult lifespan, and connecting what the scans show to RNA-seq and DNA methylation from the same brains. The results feed the consortium's multidomain ageotype models.
-
Post-Doctoral Associate, Sensory Aging and Function
New York University · Department of Anthropology
Studies how the senses age across the lifespan, and how social, environmental and life-history factors shape them, using multi-omic measures from the biobank's long-term samples and from new cross-sectional and longitudinal collections. Time is split between NYU and the University of Calgary for training, sample processing and analysis.

Postdoctoral position in social environments, genomics, and aging
Vanderbilt University · Department of Biological Sciences
Asks why social adversity (isolation, low status, a hard start in life) brings more age-related disease and earlier death, by linking the macaques' long-term social data to DNA methylation, gene expression, proteomic and other molecular data. Mostly computational, with chances to join fieldwork on Cayo Santiago.
-
Postdoctoral position in primate functional genomics
Vanderbilt University · Department of Biological Sciences
Leads the project's functional genomics: massively parallel reporter assays (MPRA) that test which age-related DNA methylation changes actually alter gene regulation, across tissues, joined with the consortium's methylation, expression, chromatin and proteomic data. Part bench, part sequencing analysis.
-
Postdoctoral Research Scholar: Multi-Omics, Aging Biology, and Computational Genomics
Arizona State University · School of Life Sciences
Two postdocs on the project's multi-omic analyses: why individuals age differently, using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from many tissues of the Cayo Santiago macaques. The focus follows the person, from single-cell and chromatin data to biological-age and mortality models, or the informatics behind reproducible analyses.
-
Researcher Senior Lead (CayoHub application development)
University of Alabama at Birmingham · Department of Biology
The application development lead of CayoHub, the project's data management and informatics core: a database engineer and developer who grows the project database, its APIs and the web tools for data intake, curation, visualisation and analysis, working with researchers and data engineers at several institutions.
-
U19 Project Coordinator
Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust · Research Institute
The consortium's coordinator on the ground in Puerto Rico, and the local counterpart of the program's project manager at ASU: scheduling the investigators' research at Cayo Santiago and the other CPRC sites, bringing the cores together, tracking milestones, and arranging the logistics for visiting teams, the annual capture-and-release season and post-mortem collections.
-
Biobank Coordinator
Puerto Rico Science, Technology and Research Trust · Research Institute
Runs CayoBank's day-to-day work in Puerto Rico: receiving, processing, storing and shipping the biospecimens the project's teams collect, so that every sample and its records are consistent and traceable for all the participating institutions. Reports to the Research Institute's Core Labs Manager.
Internships and training opportunities are centered on training and provide support towards stipends and possibly living costs.

Research internship on Cayo Santiago
Cayo Longitudinal Cohort project · New York University, University of Exeter, University of Notre Dame and Arizona State University
Training in non-invasive field research, on a long-term study of rhesus macaque physiology and behaviour. Interns join the team on the island on weekdays, observing the free-ranging monkeys and collecting behavioural data and faecal and urine samples. Those who can stay from early January to early October 2027 are preferred.
