Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command: osteological, bioarchaeological, and forensic anthropological research

ORISE Research Participation Program for the
Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, Central Identification Lab (JPAC/CIL)

The program provides opportunities to participate in on-going osteological, bioarchaeological, and forensic anthropological research at JPAC/CIL. Under the guidance of mentors, participants will have the opportunity to travel to locations of former U.S. military involvement, conduct archaeological excavations to recover human remains, and attempt to identify the remains in a laboratory environment.

Both post-doctoral and post-master's appointments are available. Program participants must have previous experience supervising archaeological fieldwork and conducting osteological analysis. They should have received the Ph.D., M.A., or M.S. degree in physical anthropology, forensic anthropology, bioarchaeology, zooarchaeology (with experience in human osteology), or a related field within five years of the desired starting date for post-doctoral candidates, or within three years of the desired starting date for post-master’s candidates.

The rigors of JPAC fieldwork require that participants be physically able to withstand harsh field environments for extended periods of time. Otherwise, the program is open to all qualified U.S. citizens; without regard to race, sex, religion, color, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, or status as a Vietnam era or disabled veteran.

Participants will be selected based on relevant supervisory archaeological fieldwork, osteological lab experience, academic records, recommendations, applied research interests, compatibility of background and interests with the JPAC mission, and availability of funds. Appointments are for one year and may be renewed for up to two additional years (post-master's) or four additional years (post-doctoral only) upon recommendation of JPAC and subject to availability of funds. The appointments are full time at the host installation in Hawaii.

Stipends will be approximately $60,000 per year for a post-doctoral appointment and approximately $50,000 per year for a post-master's appointment. Some inbound travel and moving expenses will be reimbursed according to established policies. Travel and other costs may also be reimbursed for research or training related to the program if approved by JPAC.

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.
