Both of these institutions have a vibrant history and exciting future in the use of genetic designs to understand the nature and origins of behavior and human experience.
Anticipated starting date is Sept 1 2022. Initial appointment will be for 12 months but is renewable annually, contingent upon satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
Responsibilities:
50% – Duties include developing, coordinating, and conducting analyses for genome-wide association studies and whole genome sequencing analyses of psychopathology and addiction.
