One or more Postdoctoral Scholar positions are available to carry out bioinformatics analyses of population and quantitative genetics datasets. The project will be jointly supervised by Anthony Long and Stuart Macdonald (University of Kansas), with the position located at U.C. Irvine. There will be opportunity to interact with a diverse group of evolutionary geneticists at the University of California, Irvine (http://ecoevo.bio.uci.edu). This position provides an opportunity to develop an independent line of research and to collaborate with our group on several quantitative problems. Potential projects include computational analyses of fifteen resequenced Drosophila genomes, computation analyses of ~2000 recombinant inbred lines genotyped at >1500 SNP loci, and developing quantitative genetic and population genetic models relating phenotype to genotype.
This position requires a Ph.D. and a record of published research in areas related to population/quantitative/statistical genetics, computational or mathematical biology. Project will involve working with massive datasets so demonstrated competency with Unix/Perl/MySQL will be required (and R an added plus). Positions are initially for one year, with possibility of renewal. The positions are currently open, and the starting date is negotiable.
All qualified candidates, including minorities and women, are strongly encouraged to apply. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and the name, address and phone number of two references to the contact information below.
