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

National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD

POST: PostDoctoral 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

Post Doctoral Fellow(Toxicology & Carcinogenesis Training Program)at National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC

National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Research Triangle Park, NC

POST: Post Doctoral Fellow(Toxicology & Carcinogenesis Training Program)

The Toxicology Branch of the Division of the National Toxicology Program (DNTP) at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences is looking for postdoctoral trainees who want to build their careers by helping to create a safer world. This position is located in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.

Activities of the Toxicology Branch support the National Toxicology Program, a government program established in 1978 to evaluate chemical and physical substances we encounter in our daily lives and our environment to identify any potential harm they might cause to human health and to develop and improved testing methods. The NTP's work focuses on:

Developing approaches and generating data that strengthen and broaden scientific knowledge about substances in our environment.

Providing information about potentially toxic substances to regulatory and research agencies, medical and scientific communities, and the public.

The NTP strives to obtain the best scientific data using the best research strategies and technologies. The program is committed to impartiality and rigorous scientific peer review and maintains its activities open to public scrutiny and input. The NTP also convenes conferences, workshops, and panel meetings on important public health topics to bring interested parties together to openly exchange ideas and debate issues.

Trainees will participate in activities and gain experiences applicable to regulatory or industrial toxicology. They will learn to perform all aspects of contracted toxicology studies for cancer and noncancer endpoints (e.g., reproductive and developmental effects, immune system function). Trainees will serve as project leaders in non-laboratory positions for contracted studies that evaluate the toxicity of substances of interest to the NTP. They will actively participate in the design, conduct, and evaluation of studies and have extensive interaction with staff from scientific disciplines such as chemistry, pathology, toxicokinetics, toxicogenomics, genetics, epidemiology, statistics, and molecular biology. They will also participate in NTP efforts to develop novel testing strategies for predictive toxicology and high throughput screening.

Trainees may choose in-depth study in one subspecialty area of particular interest, and it is envisioned that trainees would author reports in the NTP Technical Report series and manuscripts for peer-reviewed publications.

The postdoctoral training program funds fellowships at the NIEHS for up to five years. Stipends are determined by the amount of previous postdoctoral experience. Medical insurance is provided. Visa assistance is available for international applicants. Relocation assistance is not available.

REQUIREMENTS:

To be eligible for the applied Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Training Program, applicants may not possess more than five years of postdoctoral experience and must hold a Ph.D. or equivalent in toxicology or an allied science, M.D., D.V.M., or other equivalent professional degree.

Applicants should have expertise in the conduct of in vivo mammalian toxicology studies. Applicants receive consideration without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sex, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, political affiliation, age (with statutory exceptions), or any other non-merit factor. Minorities, women, and handicapped individuals are encouraged to apply.

Apply now and build your future with NTP at the NIEHS, a place consistently ranked among the Top 10 Best Places for Postdocs (The Scientist, Vol. 21, 2007).

TO APPLY:

Send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information of three persons as references to:

Rajendra Chhabra, Ph.D.
