Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Population Science
A postdoctoral position is available in the area of population and public health to study the public health burden associated with physical inactivity and obesity. The primary responsibilities associated with this position are: 1) assistance in conducting complex statistical analyses of population datasets, 2) conducting research studies on the public health burden of physical inactivity, obesity and related co-morbidities, and 3) preparation of research grant applications and research papers. The fellowship will be available for at least two years, and the incumbent will perform other activities as assigned by Peter Katzmarzyk, Ph.D., the Associate Executive Director for Population Science. It is anticipated that over the course of two years, the incumbent of this position will develop independent research projects related to the epidemiology of physical inactivity, obesity and health. The Pennington Biomedical Research Center offers a rich collegial research environment with state-of-the-art facilities for computing and the statistical analysis of large, complex datasets. A distinguished list of faculty is involved in such research studies at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center of the Louisiana State University System. Full benefits, including health insurance and a competitive salary will be provided.
Qualifications: Ph.D in epidemiology, public health, exercise science or a related field. Resumes will be accepted until a suitable candidate is found. Send to: Peter T. Katzmarzyk, Ph.D., Associate Executive Director for Population Science, Pennington Biomedical Research Center, 6400 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, LA 70808. Telephone: 225-763-2536; Fax: 225-763-2927.
