3-year Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position in Statistical Genomics/Genetic Epidemiology
Job description
This three-year postdoctoral research scientist position is funded by the Max Planck Society and embedded within the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Psycholinguistics.
The postdoctoral researcher will carry out genomic analyses examining genetic correlates of social behaviour from infancy onwards, approximating developmental change, and build directly on current work within the EAGLE consortium. The work aims to better understand the trajectories of mental health outcomes, including genetic links with neurodevelopmental conditions, and their brain-related changes.
The project offers extensive opportunities to work with state-of-the-art quantitative methods in statistical genomics research. Relevant tools include e.g. metafor, lavaan, genomicSEM, GRM-SEM. The successful applicant will work closely with Dr Beate St Pourcain as part of the Population Genetics of Human Communication group at the MPI for Psycholinguistics. The position provides excellent opportunities for international networking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and career development, including links to the Gene Amsterdam network.
