Epidemiology

We look for trainees with a demonstrated interest in pursuing a career in the genetic analysis of complex disorders, preferably also with training in statistics, medicine/psychiatry, epidemiology, and/or biostatistics. Predoctoral trainees must have a master's degree and are usually pursuing doctorates in biostatistics, epidemiology, or genetics, although other departments are also possible; postdoctoral trainees must have a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree.
