The Epidemiology Branch is an
intramural research program within the Division of Intramural
Population Health Research at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver
National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The Branch’s
mission is to conduct original research focusing on human
reproduction, pregnancy, maternal and child health. Branch
scientists are internationally recognized as leaders in these
areas, and are recruiting multiple post-doctoral fellows
interested in male and female fertility and reproduction,
fetal growth and development, pregnancy complications (e.g.,
gestational diabetes, preterm birth, preeclampsia),
environmental factors that impact reproductive health,
genetics (statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology), birth
defects, nutrition and lifestyle, obesity, type 2 diabetes,
cardio-metabolic disorders, developmental origins of disease
(neurodevelopment, cardio-metabolism, epigenetics), health
disparities, and epidemiological methods.
Our interdisciplinary
program is designed to provide experiences that foster the
development of skills necessary to conduct independent
research and to cross-train fellows in related disciplines
such as reproductive and perinatal epidemiology,
endocrinology, pediatrics, genetics, nutrition, and
statistics. Postdoctoral fellows have the opportunity to
develop their own research initiatives within the mission of
the Branch using the wealth of data from available cohorts.
In the Epidemiology
Branch we are seeking applicants with a range of analytical,
technical, and clinical skills who are ready to tackle great
challenges and make an impact on the lives of women, men, and
children. Candidates legally approved to work in the USA with
an earned doctoral degree in epidemiology, genetics or a
closely related field or those with a medical degree and
advanced graduate training in epidemiology, population health,
or biostatistics within the past five years are invited to
apply. Preference will be given to candidates with
demonstrated research interests in areas currently under
investigation in the Branch and to candidates with superior
analytic and communication skills. Salary is commensurate with
training and relevant research experience. The position also
provides paid health insurance and transportation benefits.
Multiple positions are available and will remain open until
qualified applicants are found.
Applicants should send:
1) a curriculum
vitae; 2) a
statement of research interests to be pursued during training;
3) three letters of reference; and 4) transcripts for
undergraduate and graduate degrees to the contact listed
below. Note: Official transcripts may be requested if selected
for an interview. Applicants need not have completed their
doctoral training prior to applying, although training must be
completed prior to the start of the fellowship.
