* POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN GENETIC EPIDEMIOLOGY *
* *
****************************************************
A postdoctoral position is available immediately for genetic
epidemiological research. The successful candidate will assume an active role
in a multicenter project headquartered at Boston University seeking to uncover
genetic variation in susceptibility to Alzheimer disease. Other opportunities
for training and research are available in ongoing collaborative studies of
genetic mechanisms responsible for variability in Wilson and Machado-Joseph
diseases and linkage mapping of several disease loci including those for
essential hypertension, non-syndromic deafness, Waardenburg syndrome and
osteoarthritis. The research environment is enhanced by strong epidemiology
and biostatistics programs in the School of Public Health, cross-fertilization
with the Center for Human Genetics, and collaborative ties with the Framingham
Study. Strong background in a quantitative science is required; experience in
genetics or a related field is recommended. Send curriculum vitae and three
letters of recommendation to Dr. Lindsay Farrer, Department of Neurology,
Boston University School of Medicine, 80 East Concord Street, Boston, MA 02118;
Telephone (617) 638-5393; Fax (617) 638-4275; E-mail farrer at neugen.bu.edu.
