NEW POSTING: January 2013

Postdoctoral Associate in statistical and population genetic aspects of Parkinson Disease (PD)

The John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to work on the statistical and population genetic aspects of Parkinson Disease (PD), as part of the multidisciplinary Morris K. Udall Parkinson Disease Research Center of Excellence, led by Jeffery M. Vance, M.D., Ph.D. (PI). The Udall Center is comprised of a team of molecular geneticists, neurobiologists, neurologists, bioinformaticians, and statistical and genetic epidemiologists who work together on studies related to PD. The qualified candidate will be working on research directed towards identifying genes and the mechanisms that they influence to increase the risk of PD.

Ph.D. required. Experience in statistical genetics, statistics, genetic epidemiology, or bioinformatics preferred. The ability to work as part of an interdisciplinary team is expected. Any appropriate combination of education, certifications, and/or relevant work experience will be considered.

The University of Miami is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. Also, applicants are required to apply online at http://careers.med.miami.edu. Under “Department”, select “John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics”.
