A 5-year Post-Doctoral Fellowship is available in South Korea, at the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, with the center at Ansan Hospital, about 45 minutes outside Seoul. Those with a PhD is the general area of neuroimaging are encouraged to apply. The support is US $ 70,000/ year, with direct additional support for accommodation. The program is funded by the Korean Government. Agreeing to the full 5 years is necessary, no partial support is possible.
The KoGES has been in existence since 2001, and has biannual health exams. Rich demographic and cardiovascular information is collected, GWAS is available. Brain MRI (structural, DTI), sleep (including polysomnography) and detailed cognition evaluations were initiated in 2008, and is now in the second cycle. The Fellowship will focus on the brain-sleep-heart interface, a major role for the Fellow will be oversight and aiding the analysis of MRI data, currently obtained at 1.5 T but to move to 3T during the course of the award. High productivity will be expected, and evidence of prior first author publications will be desirable. The awardee will also work with investigators from Harvard (MGH Martinos Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) and Boston University-Framingham Heart Study, and can be expected to have substantial freedom to pursue cutting edge analysis techniques in the neuroimaging and Big Data / “omics” realm.
Decisions will be made by the end of April. Prospective candidates will need to travel to Seoul for a meeting with Dr. Chol Shin, the Principal Investigator of KoGES, in April; travel costs are covered. Interested individuals should send their NIH style biosketch to Chol Shin, M.D. chol-shin@hanmail.net mailto:chol-shin@hanmail.net and Robert Thomas, M.D. rthomas1@bidmc.harvard.edu mailto:rthomas1@bidmc.harvard.edu
