Position entails working collaboratively with an interdisciplinary group of scientists.
The ORC studies virtually all aspects of obesity ranging from molecular biology to epidemiology. Investigators include molecular biologists, physicians, psychologists, statisticians, physiologists, nutritionists, and engineers. Individuals with an M.D. or Ph.D. degree from any field are eligible. Individuals interested in studying the genetics of obesity through a joint fellowship with the Columbia Genome Center are especially encouraged to apply. A strong background in genetics is not required as the training is intended to help provide that background.
