Post-doctoral researcher in the genetics of schizophrenia, VIPBG, Richmond, VA, USA
Post-doctoral researcher in the genetics of schizophrenia
We are seeking a candidate for a post-doctoral position in schizophrenia
genetics. The project aims to integrate the main findings from the
meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies for schizophrenia as
performed under the umbrella of the joint Psychiatric GWAS meta-Analysis
Consortium with publicly available data (e.g. linkage, literature, gene
expression results). The most promising findings will then be followed up in
large case-control and family samples using a customized SNP array.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in
statistical genetics, bioinformatics, biostatistics or a related field and a
strong interest in analyzing large-scale complex disease data sets.
The project involves a collaboration between Drs. Patrick Sullivan at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Edwin van den Oord at the
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine / Virginia Institute
for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University
(VCU). The position is initially for two years, will be highly interactive
involving multiple faculty members, and is offering ample opportunities for
publishing articles and career development.
To apply/obtain more information please email your CV to Chanda Diep

Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities encouraged to apply.
