T32 POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

  • Description
  • Mentors

The Section on Statistical Genetics in the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham is accepting applications from statistical and other scientists for postdoctoral positions in any aspect of Statistical Genomics from basic evolutionary biology to biomedical or agricultural applications. Several appointments, funded through the NIH T32 grant (T32HL072757) awarded by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), are anticipated. The funds from this grant may be used only for US Citizens or permanent residents. In very rare cases we are able to identify additional funds for the exceptional applicant who is neither a US Citizen or permanent resident, but this is a rarity. Starting dates are open and flexible. Appointments will be for two years, with possible extension for another year. Salary is commensurate with qualifications but in all cases equals or exceeds NIH post-doctoral stipends.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham is an equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Applications, supported by full curriculum vitae and the names of three referees, should to sent to:
