Penn State: craniofacial development and anatomy, morphometrics, image analysis, developmental genetics

Position: Post doctoral associate
Focus: craniofacial development and anatomy, morphometrics, image analysis, developmental genetics

We are looking for excellent post doctoral researchers to work on a large collaborative project concerning the genetics of craniosynostosis and normal craniofacial development. The project, funded by the National Institutes of Craniofacial and Dental Research of NIH, seeks to understand the developmental basis of craniosynostosis and shed light on the interaction of skeletal and neural tissue in the development and evolution of neurocranial shape. The data needed to obtain our stated goals require the collection of landmark coordinate data from large samples of micro-computed tomography (CT) scans of embryonic mouse skulls with known genetic mutations and micro-magnetic resonance images of their brains. The post doctoral associate will be responsible for the collection of the cranial data sets from the micro-CT images, but will be involved in other aspects of the project including the collection of alternate skeletal data sets, the study of embryonic neural development, quantitative analysis of morphological and genetic data, meetings among collaborators, manuscript preparation, and further grant writing. Experience and interest in developmental biology and genetics, image analysis, craniofacial anatomy, or molecular laboratory methods is desired, but not required. We are looking for some one deeply interested in applying modern technologies and methods to the understanding of the developmental processes involved in the production of craniosynostosis as well as craniofacial evolution. Applicants should send a current curriculum vita, a statement of research interest and experience, and a list of three references to Joan Richtsmeier via email: jta10@psu.edu. Earliest start date: April 1, 2008. Institution: The Pennsylvania State University (hotlink: http://www.psu.edu/) Location: State College, PA (hotlink http://www.statecollege.com/). Salary: commensurate with experience at NIH levels. Duration of appointment: one year with 4 additional years possible depending upon funding.
