Epidemiologist to Manage and Review Research on Air Pollution
The Health Effects Institute is a nonprofit organization designed to provide impartial, relevant, and high-quality scientific information about the health effects of air pollution to decision makers. Its core funds come equally from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and industry; it also receives funds from governments, industries and foundations in North America, Europe, and elsewhere. HEI currently is funding a wide range of innovative epidemiologic, toxicologic, and other research at universities and research centers in many countries.
HEI has a position open for an epidemiologist to work with HEI's expert committees and scientific staff to develop and implement HEI's internationally-recognized program of epidemiologic research on air pollution and health. This would include planning future research directions, overseeing funded studies, reviewing and writing commentaries on final reports from HEI investigators, and contributing to literature reviews on critical issues. A specific responsibility for this position will be to work with HEI's Research Committee and scientific staff on planning, initiating, and overseeing a major research program of epidemiologic and toxicologic studies to investigate whether some components or sources of ambient particulate air pollution pose greater health risks than others. Another initial responsibility will be to manage the review of a final report on a major international study of the health effects of particulate air pollution in North America and Europe, and to work with the HEI Review Committee in writing a commentary, to be published with the report, that describes the research and its strengths, limitations, and contributions to scientific knowledge in terms understandable to a diverse audience.
We are seeking to hire at the Senior Scientist level. A doctoral degree in epidemiology or biostatistics and at least 5 years of subsequent experience in epidemiologic research is required, preferably with some experience on how such research is used in public health and/or policy settings. Experience in project management is a priority. Good written and oral communication skills are essential. HEI is an equal opportunity employer.

Cell Cycle Checkpoint Signaling
Mechanisms and ATM Function
A postdoctoral position is available to investigate signal transduction mechanisms regulating cell cycle checkpoints, with particular interest in the role of the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene product and ATM-interacting proteins. Studies will focus on responses to DNA damage and regulation of cell cycle progression following damage. Current research interests in our group include investigations of the role of ATM in mammary epithelial cell cycle regulation, the interplay of signaling from ATM and ATM-related kinases, as well as ATM signaling in cells from individuals with heritable cancer susceptibility syndromes. Opportunities exist for the incorporation of global gene expression analyses into studies. Candidates should have a Ph.D. or equivalent degree in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry or related field. While candidates with five or fewer years of relevant postdoctoral research experience are eligible, recent graduates are encouraged to apply.
TO APPLY: Submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, bibliography and the names of three references to:
