    Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards in Studying Complex Systems

    The James S. McDonnel Foundation Fellowships in Complex Systems research are intended to provide students in the final stages of completing a Ph.D. degree more leeway in identifying and securing postdoctoral training opportunities in complex systems research (as defined above). The program, following review of applications, provides selected predoctoral students with "letters of intent to fund" that the student can use in negotiating with potential postdoctoral training institutions while the student is in the final phase of graduate school. The JSMF Fellowship is designed to provide students with an opportunity to seek potential postdoctoral research opportunities on the basis of the student's interest and desire to obtain additional skills and experience that will further their pursuit of careers in complex systems science.

    Citizenship: Unrestricted

    Deadline: June 30, 2017

    Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genetic Epidemiology

    The primary objective of this post-doctoral research training program is to produce cutting edge independent scientists and future research leaders in genetic epidemiology. The program is proposing to do this in a multidisciplinary setting and with emphasis on substantive applied orientation in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors and other complex traits related to heart, lung, and blood disorders. The program team believes that the research environment at Washington University is outstanding for carrying out research in genetic epidemiology and cardiovascular genetic epidemiology. Background in one or more areas among biostatistics, statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, and bioinformatics is highly desirable. Candidates with research interests in the development of novel analytic methods in genetic epidemiology are particularly encouraged to apply.

    Eligibility: Must be a US citizen, permanent residence, or noncitizen national of the US

    Deadline: Continuous
