One two two year position available in my lab. The research
theme is adult age differences in attentional control of working memory
and
the consequences of
breakdowns in control. Current work is directed at forgetting and at
distraction effects. A related project centers on circadian arousal
patterns and the impact of performing at times that match or mismatch
with peak arousal.
Requirements for position. A keen interest in these and related
questions. A strong background in cognition, or cognitive gerontology
and
a desire to received more training in these areas. Good statistical and
programming skills are a plus.
Please send a vita, a description of your current work and
research interests and three letters of recommendation. These may be
sent by fax (919 660 5726) or email (lhasher@acpub.duke.edu) or regular

Dear Colleagues:
With the Fetzer Foundation, we have been interested in promoting
research on
religion, health and aging topics. We have engaged in a series of
planning
activities including preparing a document on measurement issues as well
as
getting some relevant items on the recent social science survey. If
interested,
we would be glad to send you a description of our planning efforts in
this area.
We are also putting together a packet of manuscripts on religion,
health and
aging topics for possible publication. If you have any publishable
articles
that are ready to go that would appeal to a psychology and aging
audience, we
would be pleased to see and consider passing along with the manuscripts
we
already have. We do not have any guarantees regarding publication, only
the
intent to send in related articles that will still need to undergo peer
review.
We would need to see any proposed manuscripts by May 15, so we really
are
talking about manuscripts in hand and ready to go out the door.

%" BORDER="0">
Research Position Available
The National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA), located at
the
University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research, announces an
immediate opening for Project Manager. For fifteen years the nation's
premier collector of social science research data collections for the
study
of aging, NACDA is an important component of the infrastructure of
gerontological research. NACDA's Project Manager will be at the center
of
research resource developments in the study of aging, through contacts
with
leading researchers, as well as governmental and private funding
sources.
For qualified individuals, the Project Manager position (further
described
below) offers an unparalleled opportunity to contribute at the leading
edge
of the technological and substantive changes in the ways scholars
conduct
research on aging and the life course.
The Setting
NACDA is one of five topical archives within the Inter-university
Consortium
for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the Institute for Social
Research. ICPSR, in operation since 1962, is the world's largest social
science data archive. Its holdings of basic research data broadly span
the
social science disciplines, and are completely available to the
research
community through the World Wide Web. Each year, thousands of academic
researchers and their students access the 40,000+ discrete data
collections
in the ICPSR archive to obtain research materials for secondary
analysis of
social, political, and economic phenomena worldwide. ICPSR's staff of
eighty
includes a full complement of substantive and computational
professionals to
support both its project activities and the research users of its
collections. The NACDA project makes full use of these internal
supporting
facilities, and enjoys as well the substantive oversight of a national
council of gerontological research advisers. NACDA is funded by a
multi-year
grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
The Position
The NACDA Project Manager position is a regular University of Michigan
position classified as Senior Research Associate (Social Sciences).
This
twelve-month appointment is located within the University's
Professional and
Administrative (P&A) job family, with a salary grade of 12 within
that job
family. The position carries full fringe benefits, and a salary
commensurate
with qualifications and experience. As described below, the job entails
a
wide variety of responsibilities, both within the organization and
across
the national gerontological community. It offers to the right candidate
exciting and challenging opportunities for professional growth and
development in the field of aging research.
Duties: Manage the activities of the National Archive of Computerized
Data
on Aging (NACDA) under the direction of the project's Principal
Investigator; represent NACDA in professional settings such as
conventions
and through visits to leading centers for gerontological research;
identify,
evaluate, and acquire data sets for use in gerontological research;
supervise staff of professional and clerical employees in archival data
processing activities; write descriptive material to inform the
research
community about NACDA's data collections, including regular
publications;
design and implement a "union catalog" of gerontological data sets that
are
not yet archived by NACDA; prepare and present exhibits at relevant
professional meetings; assist in writing grant proposals; write
progress
reports on existing grants; assist in maintaining working relationships
with
sponsors in government and private sectors; engage in research and
publication that demonstrates or adds value to the NACDA collection;
provide
staff support for the NACDA Council (and its task forces), which is an
advisory body composed of leading scholars in gerontology.
Qualifications: Necessary: Ph.D. in a field relevant to the study of
aging
or an equivalent combination of education and progressively responsible
experience in a field relevant to the study of aging; knowledge of the
research literature and research methods in gerontology; excellent
communication skills; two or more years experience in computerized data
processing and/or data analysis in a distributed computing environment;
experience in supervising professional and clerical personnel in data
processing and/or data analysis; knowledge of social science data and
research methodology; knowledge of and experience with software such as
SPSS, SAS, or STATA for processing and analysis of quantitative data.
Desired: Experience in preparing computer-readable data and technical
documentation for secondary analysis; experience in processing or
analyzing
large collections of social science research data; contributions to the
gerontological research literature.

Abstract:
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Institute
of Mental Health (NIMH) invite qualified researchers to submit
research grant applications on behavior genetics in adulthood
and old age. The goal of this program announcement (PA) is to
further scientific knowledge about the relative contributions
of hereditary and environmental factors in the health, well-being,
and quality of life of adults (age 21 and over) and older persons.
This program announcement encourages research that will address
one or more of the following: a) behavior genetics and cognitive
functioning/intellectual ability, and b) behavior genetics and
personality.The mechanisms of support will be the
investigator-initiated
research projectgrant (R01) and program project grant (P01).The
priorities of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) include
understanding
Alzheimer's Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders associated
with aging; the biological basis of aging; the basic biological,
genetic, and environmental processes and factors associated with
aging; the aging of muscle and bone tissue; immunosenescence;
the endocrine changes that come with age; frailty, disability,
and rehabilitation; women's health and aging; balance problems;
diseases and aging; health and independence in the later years;
long-term care for older adults; aging minority populations;
osteoporosis; and the social, economic, and demographic
characteristics,
as well as the work and retirement of older people. The Biology
of Aging program focuses on nutrition and metabolism, molecular
and cell biology, endocrinology and physiology, genetics, pathobiology,
and immunology. The Geriatrics Program focuses on arthritis,
rheumatologic disorders (particularly osteoarthritis); nutrition,
metabolism, and gastroenterology; cardiovascular, pulmonary,
and renal disorders; endocrinology; geriatric pharmacology and
the clinical problems in nursing homes; infectious diseases;
and cancer. The Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging Program
focuses on neurobiology, neuropsychology, and the dementias of
aging.
