REF NR E36 2334/08 med placering vid Inst för neurovetenskap och fysiologi. Sahlgrenska akademin. Sista ansökningsdag: 2008-05-26 One full-time postdoctoral position in psychiatric epidemiology is available at Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University, ref.nr E36 2334/08.
The position is available for a minimum of 18 months. The position will be at the Unit of Neuropsychiatric Epidemiology at the Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology.
The applicant should have a PhD or similar, and/or experience in epidemiological or statistical research, as well as good experience in analysing data and to write scientific reports in international scientific journals. Experience in psychiatric research is a further merit.
The research area includes the study of the frequency, causes (genetic, biochemical, environmental, social, somatic) and consequences of dementia and other mental disorders (e.g. depression, psychotic disorders, anxiety disorders) in longitudinally followed elderly populations from different birth cohorts using a combination of epidemiological and neurobiological methods (brain imaging, neurochemistry, genetics and other biological factor). One important aim is to study secular trends in the frequency of mental disorders and their risk factors. The research is based on longitudinal population studies which started almost 40 years ago (H70, the Prospective Population Study of Women), and a large population study on very old people (95+). The study is supported by, e.g. VR, FAS, and NIH.
