Studies of the behavioral genetics of clinical psychiatric disorders
require interdisciplinary teams of molecular geneticists, behavioral
geneticists, and clinical researchers. The Institute for Behavioral
Genetics, the Addiction Research and Treatment Service, and the
Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology of the

populations aimed at defining genetic mechanisms and gene loci
contributing to the clinical conditions of conduct disorder,
antisocial personality disorder, and substance dependence. Positions
are open for Postdoctoral Fellows in psychiatry, psychology,
behavioral genetics, and molecular genetics. Senior faculty include
T.J. Crowley (Psychiatry); J.C. DeFries, J.K. Hewitt, R.P. Corley,
M.C. Stallings (Behavioral Genetics); R.E. Booth (Social Psychology);
and K.S. Krauter (Molecular Genetics). Interested U.S. citizens and
permanent residents should send a letter of interest, including career
