4. Postdoctoral Job
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
Dr. Jill Rabinowitz and Dr. Danielle Dick are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to contribute to multiple projects focused on the contributions of genetic and environment influences to the development of substance use and disorders and related behavioral conditions. Responsibilities of the Postdoctoral Fellow include designing, organizing, executing and communicating, through scientific journal articles and conference presentations, the results of research studies that further the aims of the labs and the grant(s) that fund the Postdoctoral position. We examine issues such as how genetic and environmental influences change across development; trajectories of risk associated with identified genes; environmental factors that alter risk pathways; genetic influences on subtypes and intermediary phenotypes associated with substance use problems; and the mediating and moderating mechanisms involved in gene-behavior associations.
