We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Center for Behavior Genetics of Aging at the University of California, San Diego Department of Psychiatry.   The successful applicant will work primarily on analyses and manuscript preparation for Interplay of Genes and Environment across Multiple Studies (IGEMS) consortium Alzheimer’s Disease grant.   IGEMS is a collection of twin studies from Australia, the United States, and Europe comprising over 47,000 individuals.   IGEMS contains information on a wide range of risk and protective factors for Alzheimer’s disease measured across the lifespan, in addition to genome-wide genotyping.   Research will emphasize the additive and interactive effects of genetic and environmental risk/protective factors on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The successful applicant will also have the opportunity to work on the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging (VETSA) which is one of the IGEMS studies.   The VETSA comprises a set of...

The Panizzon Lab within the Department of Psychiatry at U.C. San Diego seeks applicants for multiple postdoctoral researcher positions.   The focus of the laboratory is on the interface of neuroendocrinology and genetics in understanding cognitive and brain aging, as well as the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.   Significant efforts are also dedicated to exploring sex differences in cognitive and brain aging from a neuroendocrine perspective. The successful applicant will participate in data collection and analysis of two NIA funded projects on the impact of sex hormone suppression on the brain and cognition.   There will also be the opportunity to work on secondary data analysis projects utilizing publically available datasets like the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), UK Biobank, the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging, and the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention.   The successful applicant will participate in the writing and...
