Tenure Track or Tenure‐Eligible Investigator, Biostatistics and
Bioinformatics Branch
The Division of Epidemiology, Statistics and Prevention Research (DESPR)
of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National
Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), National
Institutes of Health (NIH), invites applications
for the position of Tenure Track or Tenure‐Eligible Investigator in the
Biostatistics & Bioinformatics Branch (BBB).
BBB investigators develop statistical research programs and actively
collaborate in cutting‐edge studies of genetics,
lifestyle, and other environmental causes of reproductive, perinatal and
adolescent outcomes. Statistical research
is typically motivated by analytic issues encountered in Division
studies, including modeling complex longitudinal
data, modeling recurrent events, developing new approaches for assessing
risk, developing strategies to identify
true associations in genome‐wide scans for disease‐producing genetic
variants, and the analysis of nutritional data.
Increasingly, analytic issues involving digital imaging and “omics” data
are becoming important in Division projects.
For example, many Division projects have research components focusing on
examining biological function as
measured by proteomics, metabolomics, along with other high dimensional
biomarkers. These measurements are
often longitudinal, raising exciting research opportunities in study
design and analysis.
Given the Branch’s current mix of expertise, we are particularly
interested in candidates with established
experience in bioinformatics, the analysis of high‐dimensional data, and
statistical genetics methodology.
Applications will be evaluated on demonstrated potential to develop a
creative, independent program of statistical
research. Available resources include state of the art computing
facilities (e.g., the NIH Biowulf cluster super
computer), programming support for statistical methodology and
collaborative projects from on‐site computer and
statistical contractors, and access to a diverse array of databases that
have longitudinal and high‐dimensional data
for statistical methods development.
Candidates must have an earned doctorate in biostatistics, statistics or
a closely related field from an accredited
university, an outstanding methods research and collaborative research
publication record in the peer‐reviewed
literature, evidence of success in mentoring junior scientists, and
evidence of professional service. Those applying
for a tenure‐eligible position should have an international reputation.
The successful candidate should have
strong communication skills to discuss scientific issues and write
scientific papers.
Full Federal benefits including salary, leave, health and life
insurance, long‐term care insurance, retirement, and
savings plan (401k equivalent) will be provided.
Questions about the position can be addressed by Dr. Paul Albert, Senior
Investigator and Chief of BBB at 301‐496‐
5582. Interested individuals should email a cover letter describing
research interests and professional
accomplishments, curriculum vitae, and the names and contact information
for three references to:

Program Analyst, DESPR, NICHD
6100 Executive Blvd, Room 7B05, Rockville, MD 20852

Applications received by December 15, 2010 will be considered for a
first round of interviews, but applications will
be accepted until the position is filled.
