Description:

A postdoctoral position is available in a human population genetics and genomics laboratory. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on projects related to medical re-sequencing and the genomics of human populations. Research topics in the laboratory include understanding the human genetic susceptibility to disease, exploring the effects of admixture and selection on population structure, and mutation dynamics. Projects require genomewide analyses of genetic diversity utilizing large datasets generated by next-generation sequencing and whole genome SNP genotyping.

A suitable candidate should have a degree in a quantitative field, such as statistics, computational biology, or computer science, with interest in genetics/genomics. Candidates with degrees in genetics or related fields with strong computational and statistical expertise are also encouraged to apply. A successful candidate will have expertise in scientific programming (preferably in C/C++, PERL), UNIX/Linux operating systems, and possession of excellent communication and writing skills. Salary is commensurate with education and qualifications.
