PostDoctoral Fellow (Dysregulation of Glucose and Energy Metabolism in Aging Research) at National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD


                                    National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD
POST: PostDoctoral Fellow (Dysregulation of Glucose and Energy Metabolism in Aging Research)
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 age-related dysregulation of glucose and energy metabolism. Current intervention studies of the physiology of taste receptors and islet function are ongoing. In addition, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of aging are ongoing using data from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) in order to understand how age-related changes in endocrine function are co-factors for poor quality of life and disability. The BLSA, active for nearly 50 years, represents one of the longest ongoing longitudinal studies of aging in the world and findings from this study are milestones in what we currently know about the  aging process.
Responsibilities include study design, protocol development, development of research techniques and procedures, study implementation and monitoring, data acquisition, data analysis, and manuscript preparation for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
REQUIREMENTS:
The ideal candidate must have an MD or PhD with training in biostatistics, epidemiology, public health, physiology or bioinformatics. Good communication skills and ability to work on a variety of projects are essential.
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 Additional information regarding the NIA/IRP and the Clinical Research Branch (CRB)are available at the following web sites http://www.grc.nia.nih.gov/studies/index.htmorhttp://www.grc.nia.nih.gov/branches/crb/crb.htm  .
