Two postdoctoral positions in population genetics are available for highly motivated individuals with excellent records of research. Post-doctoral fellows will integrate human population genetics, genomics, and statistical analysis and the application of those concepts to new and ongoing association studies of complex traits using exome resequencing. Specific work will focus on analyzing patterns of genetic variation to make inferences about demographic history and natural selection. The results of these analyses will be used to guide studies of how variation affects a variety of common diseases. This position requires an independent and highly motivated individual with demonstrated expertise in human genetics, genomics, and statistical analysis. Candidates with a background in epidemiology and molecular biology are also strongly encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will have the ability to manipulate large data sets (preferably using PERL or some other high-level programming language), a working knowledge of UNIX/LINUX operating systems, and genomic databases (e.g., NCBI). Educational requirements include a Ph.D. in molecular biology, genetics, epidemiology, bioinformatics, or a related field. Applicants should preferably have experience in human population genetics, phylogenetic methods, and genotyping technologies. Experience in molecular biology and high-throughput environments are pluses.
