We are looking for a postdoc who is interested in
Biostatistics/Bioinformatics training and research. The position is
immediately available, and remains open until it is filled. Eligibility is
limited to US citizens and permanent residents (i.e., green card
holders).
National Institute on Drug Abuse Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity
The NIH/NIDA supported T32 fellowship program in the Department of
Epidemiology and Biostatistics in Michigan State University solicits
applications for a postdoctoral fellowship position in tobacco and other
drug dependence-related biostatistics/bioinformatics and epidemiology
research. Eligibility is limited to citizens of the US or its territories and
affiliated jurisdictions, and to current permanent residents (i.e., green
card holders).
We will give priority to eligible applicants who already have earned the
Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, or Computational Biology PhD, as well as
applicants who already have earned an Epidemiology, Statistics, or
Computer Sciences PhD degree and who seek more advanced training in
Biostatistics. Especially for applicants with the Epidemiology degree,
qualified applicants will be encouraged to take Biostatistics MSc
coursework and possibly to earn the Biostatistics Master of Science
degree; tuition/fees can be provided to qualified applicants who do not
already possess equivalent credentials in biostatistics, bioinformatics,
or computational biology, specifically. Strong programming skills in R
and/or C/C++ are preferred, but not required.
Successful candidates will join the T32 fellowship program and will work
with the NIDA-funded training program director and faculty to develop
the fellow's own independent line of NIDA research while working with
the faculty on their lines of research. A specific methodological focus
will involve gene-gene and gene-environment interaction research, and
participation in the development of novel biostatistics methods and
bioinformatics tools for analyzing drug dependence related
epidemiology, genome-wide association, and next-generation
sequencing data. Successful applicants must be willing to make a career
commitment to NIDA research on alcohol, tobacco, or other drug
dependence, and to seek to sustain that research career priority via
NIDA-funded or NIH-funded research grant awards for
epidemiology/biostatistics methods development. Current NIDA career
development paths and program announcements for NIDA career
development and research awards can be found here:
http://www.drugabuse.gov/funding-app/pa.
The annual stipend is based on the current Ruth L. Kirschstein NRSA
stipend levels across a range from $36,000 to $53,000, based on years
in research since earning the degree. In addition to the stipend,
benefits include health insurance coverage, training-related expenses,
and annual support for travel to present research work at the annual
scientific meeting of the College on Problems of Drug Dependence. The
position is immediately available, and remains open until it is filled.
Each applicant should start by sending an email to express interest and
to describe NIDA research interests and goals, along with updated
curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references. The email
and attachment should be sent to all three of these email addresses:
