The Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is recruiting postdoctoral trainees for its NICHD-funded Postdoctoral Training Program in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Research. Appointments will be for 2 years beginning in the summer of 2025. The program provides multidisciplinary training with an emphasis on social-affective processes, communication, family processes, epidemiology, genetics, and biobehavioral research on IDD. Faculty use sophisticated statistical approaches, longitudinal research methods, brain imaging methods, GWAS, social genomics, and psychobiology, among other approaches to data collection and analysis as applied to intellectual and developmental disability.
