Area of responsibility / description of work
Individual Differences in Healthy Aging deals with the application of gerontological, epidemiological, and genetic methods to the study of individual differences in aging.
The focus of this position is on an integrated research program in health development in late life that uses a lifespan approach to address a number of questions about how environment, lifestyle and genes act, in synergy, to produce individual patterns of outcomes. The research will be on the influence of early and midlife environments and personality on the aging process, how potential buffering effects may influence late life outcomes.
The proposed work will include collaboration with gerontologists, psychologists, and biostatisticians working within FORTE supported project in Aging and Health. Data sources include rich longitudinal information from four Swedish twin cohort studies of aging, genotypes from these cohorts, and information from national health registries.
The post-doctoral fellow will be involved in all parts of the projects, ranging from generating own research ideas, supervision of students to day-to-day data management, statistical analysis and preparing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
