The Department of Biostatistics and Center for Statistical Genetics at the University of Michigan invite applications for post-doctoral fellowships emphasizing statistical methods development and application for the design and analysis of sequence and array-based association studies, and gene expression studies. Their group leads large-scale genetic studies of many complex diseases and traits, including type 2 diabetes and related traits, macular degeneration, cardiovascular disease, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, and the development of key genomic resources and analysis methods and software. Post-doctoral positions may emphasize understanding the genetic basis of one or more of these diseases and traits, the development of statistical genetics methods and software relevant to such studies, or innovative methods for communicating study results and engaging research participants. Their group has an outstanding record in helping previous fellows move on to successful careers in academia or wherever their interests lie.
