| Pre- and Postdoctoral Positions in Statistical Genetic Analysis and Genetic Epidemiology. The Genetics of Complex Disorders (GCD) training program in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University provides pre- and postdoctoral training in the genetic epidemiology and statistical genetic analysis of complex diseases, including psychiatric disorders. Our mission is to train scientists who will be aware of all aspects of genetic studies, including study design, clinical aspects, phenotype definition, molecular laboratory issues, and statistical analysis. Training includes both didactic (coursework and lab rotations) and research components. We seek applicants with training in statistics, epidemiology, and/or genetics and with demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the genetic analysis of complex disorders. Applicants for postdoctoral positions must have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent; predoctoral applicants need a Master's degree. Further information can be obtained at our Web site (http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/dept/sph/epi/gcd/). Columbia University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens. | |
