Post-Doctoral Fellowship Available to Study Obesity
At least one position for a post-doctoral fellowship is available at the
National Institutes of Health-funded NY Obesity Research Center (ORC) at
St. Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital and Columbia University.
Position entails working collaboratively with an interdisciplinary group
of scientists. The ORC studies virtually all aspects of obesity ranging
from molecular biology to epidemiology. Investigators include molecular
biologists, physicians, psychologists, statisticians, physiologists,
nutritionists, and engineers.
Individuals with an M.D. of Ph.D. degree from any field are eligible.
Individuals interested in studying the genetics of obesity through a joint
fellowship with the Columbia Genome Center are especially encouraged to
apply. A strong background in genetics is not required as the training is
intended to help provide that background.
One position must be filled by November 30th. Women and individuals from
traditionally disadvantaged groups are encouraged to apply.
Interested individuals should contact David Allison at the phone, fax, or
email listed below.
