Post Doctoral fellow Position at Center for Public Genomics, Duke University


Center for Public Genomics
Duke University Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy, Durham , North Carolina
Duke University's Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy is seeking a Fellow to work in its Center for Public Genomics (CpG) beginning August/September 2012. The CpG was established in 2004 to explore the value of "open science" norms and practices, and to understand the risks and benefits of intellectual property protections in genomics. The CpG is funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, and is a national Center of Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Research, supported by a P50 center grant.
The Fellow is expected to do research and help with administrative and scholarly work within the Center. The Fellow will be responsible for a variety of tasks within the CpG's different projects, particularly a study of DNA sequencing technologies and the implications of widespread full-genome sequence analysis. The Fellow will conduct research on policy issues related to data-sharing, intellectual property, and genomics research. The overall Center comprises several research projects, including projects on interpreting genomic data (Misha Angrist, PI), and on DNA sequencing and its applications (Robert Cook-Deegan, PI; Shubha Chandrasekharan, co-investigator). The Fellow may work on one or both of these projects as part of a team that also includes two research assistants, as well as undergraduate, graduate and professional students (in law, medicine and other fields). While there is flexibility as to the focus, research, and work of the Fellow, he or she will be expected to accomplish the following:
1. Become an integral participant in one or two teams conducting research on DNA sequencing technologies and applications of DNA sequence, taking responsibility for analyzing and writing about ethical, legal, and policy issues connected to that research and its many uses.
2. Write or participate in writing at least two articles for publication in the medical or ethics, law, policy, or social sciences, and submit these for publication in the scholarly literature at first-rate journals.
3. Help organize interviews, searching for and cataloguing documents, and analyzing items of historical and policy interest related to DNA sequencing technologies and their uses, including companies developing DNA sequencing methods and instruments and companies offering interpretation of genomic data as a service.
4. Identifying and helping maintain a web archive of seminal documents and graphics related to the research themes.
5. Present research at a public meeting of national scope.
6. Serve as a teaching assistant in one course per year, and give occasional guest lectures in Duke courses that are pertinent to his/her developing area of expertise.
7. Supervise undergraduate and graduate research assistants working on CpG projects.
The Fellowship will begin late summer or early fall 2012, and is for a two-year term, with the possibility of renewal at the end of two years until the grant expires in March 2015. (Under special circumstances, we will consider a shorter fellowship, but preference will be given to applicants interested in joining us for two years.)
REQUIREMENTS:
Qualified candidates should hold an advanced degree in the natural sciences, social sciences, law, medicine or humanities. A scientific or technical background is desirable, but not required. Salary is commensurate with experience, with an anticipated range of $39,200 to $47,800 annually, depending upon experience. NIH funding requires that the person selected be an American citizen or have a Permanent Resident card (Alien Registration Receipt card or "green card".)
To Apply:
Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis, and should include:
1. A cover letter describing candidate's research interests and experience (maximum 3 pages)
2. Current CV
3. Writing sample (or excerpt) of up to eight pages on an ethical, legal, social or policy issue related to genomics or another scientific area, written for a non-technical audience,
4. Two letters of recommendation, and
5. A list of at least three references (The list may include those writing recommendation letters, but must include at least two individuals who have directly supervised the applicant's work.)
Application materials should be submitted electronically to Dr. Robert Cook-Deegan, e-mail: gelp@duke.edu   . Letters of recommendation may be sent either electronically (gelp@duke.edu  ) or by regular mail to:

Post Doctoral Fellow(Gait and Mobility Modeling in Aging Research) at National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD


National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD
POST: Post Doctoral Fellow(Gait and Mobility Modeling in Aging Research)
The Longitudinal Studies Section (LSS) of the Clinical Research Branch (CRB) of the National Institute on Aging (NIA), a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to participate in research projects associated with the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). The BLSA examines various trajectories of change in primary physiological parameters across the age spectrum with the underlying goal to identify change due to "normal aging" versus changes caused by age-related diseases and identify key factors that impact the aging process. Extensive longitudinal data exist on physiological function (cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, metabolic, musculo-skeletal), sensory function (vision and hearing), cognition, personality, nutrition and physical activity. Biological material (serum, plasma, DNA, urine, cells) were collected and stored in one of the richest biological banks in the context of a longitudinal study of aging. The scientific paradigm of the BLSA has been revisited to increase the focus on early biological, environmental and behavioral risk factors for the development of mobility disability in older persons. Given the multiplicity of projects within the BLSA, we are seeking applicants with experience and interests in specific areas.
The BLSA is particularly interested in the study of efficiency and energetics of gait and mobility. The metabolic cost of walking in normal older individuals and in those affected by multiple chronic diseases is mostly unknown. A state of the art 3D gait laboratory has been designed to study change over time in the biomechanics and kinematics of gait, how these parameters are affected by specific chronic conditions or impairments and are correlated with biomarkers, brain imaging, muscle and nerve function, vision and proprioception. A Vicon 3D motion capture system with10-cameras (Oxford Metrics Ltd., Oxford, UK) is used to evaluate multiple components of normal and challenged gait. Ground reaction forces are measured synchronously with motion capturing using 3 staggered force platforms (Advanced Mechanical Technologies, Inc., Watertown, MA, USA; sampling rate 1080Hz) imbedded in the walkway. There is a fully dedicated technician who administers the study protocol to participants, coordinates the laboratory and helps in pre-processing the data collected.
REQUIREMENTS:
The ideal candidate should have considerable experience in working in a 3D gait laboratory (preferentially VICON), conducting quality control on and processing the data collected, analyzing data and writing scientific papers for peer-review scientific journals. She/he will have access to considerable expertise in statistics and epidemiology and other scientists with vast experience in aging-related research.
TO APPLY:
Send curriculum vitae, statement of research interest, relevant publications, and contact information for three references to Ms. Annette D. Edwards, Program Support Assistant, Clinical Research Branch, National Institutes on Aging, 3001 S. Hanover St. Baltimore, MD 21225, Email: edwardsan@mail.nih.gov.
