Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Branch is an intramural research program within the Division of Intramural Population Health Research (DIPHR) at the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development. The Division’s mission is to conduct original research focusing on human reproduction and development, pregnancy, and child and adolescent health. Branch members conduct independent methodological research relevant to the design and analysis of epidemiological, behavioral and clinical studies. Specific research interests of the Branch members include: Bayesian methods, longitudinal data analysis, the analysis of biomarker data, methods for diagnostic tests and measurement agreement, survival analysis, risk modeling, and statistical bioinformatics, and statistical genetics. Much of the statistical research is motivated by collaborative research with DIPHR investigators. Postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity to develop an exciting statistical research program related to statistical problems encountered in DIPHR scientific studies. They will also have the opportunity to collaborate with DIPHR investigators on important studies. Candidates eligible to work in the USA and with an earned doctoral degree in statistics or biostatistics within the past five years are invited to apply. We anticipate multiple positions in all of the following statistical research areas: (i) longitudinal data analysis, (2) statistical genetics, (3) risk prediction and diagnostic testing, and (4) Bayesian statistics. Strong candidates in other areas are also encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to candidates with working on applied problems, and with superior communication skills. Stipend is commensurate with training and relevant research experience.

Applicants should send: 1) a curriculum vitae; 2) official transcripts for undergraduate and graduate degrees; 3) a statement of research interests to be pursued during training; and 4) three letters of reference to:
