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:
