Postdoctoral fellowship at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC


National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC
A postdoctoral fellowship is immediately available at NIH / National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, to participate in an ongoing research program investigating the role of environmental and genetic factors in the development of Parkinson's disease and other age-related chronic diseases.
Current work involves several large prospective cohorts, for example, the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study (http://dietandhealth.cancer.gov/parkinsons.html ). In addition to etiological research on risk factors for Parkinson's disease, we are studying Parkinson's premotor symptoms (e.g. poor sense of smell and depression), which may help us to diagnose the disease early and to understand its early etiology.
REQUIREMENTS:
We welcome all applicants with a background in epidemiology. We are particularly interested in candidates with a background in genetic epidemiology and/or research on premotor symptoms. Candidates should have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree.
NIH offers excellent salary and health care packages to its trainees. NIEHS has consistently been ranked among the best places to work for postdoctoral fellows. The position will remain open until filled.
TO APPLY:
For prompt consideration, send the following items to chenh2@niehs.nih.gov  :
Letter describing areas of research interest
Curriculum vitae with bibliography
PDFs of 1 or 2 recent publications
Contact information for 3 individuals serving as references
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) is located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
NIEHS is an equal opportunity employer. The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs
