ISPG Member & Friends of the Society Postings:

  • Postdoctoral Fellow or Staff Researcher in the laboratory of Dr. Nievergelt, Department of Psychiatry, UCSD for investigating the genetic/genomic basis of psychiatric and stress-related disorders through the computational analysis of large datasets.
  • Faculty positions at the Virginia Institute for Psychiatric and Behavioral Genetics at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. Link: https://vcu.csod.com/ux/ats/careersite/2/home/requisition/5552?c=vcu
  • The Hernandez Laboratory in the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is hiring a postdoctoral research fellow in psychiatric genetics. Projects will investigate the genetic and genomic basis of autism, psychosis, and brain development, including links with postmortem gene expression and neuroimaging phenotypes. The ideal candidate will have strong computational skills and will lead the integration of multiple large-scale datasets to identify genetic/neuroimaging biomarkers of risk for childhood-onset psychiatric disorders. https://www.hernandezlabucla.org/join
  • The US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) is actively recruiting a Program Officer to lead our new Translational Genomics program in the Division of Translational Research (DTR) at NIMH. This is a great opportunity for someone with scientific expertise in genetics and/or genomics to manage a large grants portfolio and develop a vision for where NIMH should be building and growing in the translational space. Applications will be accepted through September 25, 2024. The full job description is found here: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/about/careers/health-scientist-administrator-program-officer.

  • Professors Uku Vainik and René Mõttus are looking for two post-doctoral candidates keen to advance our understanding of personality traits and cognitive abilities through linking these with genomics, health, life events and other experiences. The post-docs will work with a subset of Estonian Biobank — one of the largest personality, health, and genetics studies that covers nearly 7% of the Estonian adult population (77K people). This data can be used to answer numerous questions. Currently, a team of 12 graduate students and scientists are linking personality with job satisfaction, health, environmental attitudes, genomics, blood metabolites, mental health, eating behaviours, body weight trajectories, drug purchases, microbiome, cancer, built environment and so on. But many more questions can be addressed that the current team can do. See more and apply by October 24 at: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/275559
