We are especially looking for students with interests in the causes, prevention, and treatment of substance use problems and related health conditions, as well as disparities in those processes.
• 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.
• 4-year PhD position in Statistical Genomics/Genetic Epidemiology (Full-time, 39 hours per week, starting salary: € 38,992 p.a.)

  Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Language & Genetics Department The Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, is offering a PhD position in Statistical Genomics/Genetic Epidemiology within the population genetics of human communication group, led by Dr Beate St Pourcain and embedded within the Language & Genetics Department at the MPI. The project will focus on identifying and modelling the genomic influences underlying early language performance and social behaviour, including links with brain-related phenotypes, rhythmicity and outcomes in later childhood and adolescence.

• Dr. Joshua Gray, Associate Professor in the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology at Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Maryland is hiring a Postdoctoral Fellow and Scientist to contribute to NIH funded research on the genetic risk for alcohol use disorder and other psychological phenotypes using large datasets (e.g., dbGaP, All of Us, Million Veterans Program). The ideal candidate has strong computational and analytic skills and a passion for psychiatric genetics and addiction research. Dr. Gray's lab prioritizes mentorship and professional growth, and provides opportunities for grant writing and attendance at statistical genomics workshops.Postdoctoral Fellow (Remote possible): https://careers-hjf.icims.com/jobs/3426/postdoctoral-fellow---psychiatric-genetics-addiction/job
