Postdoctoral positions in human population genomics and association studies : Ithaca, NY, United States

Two postdoctoral positions are available with Alon Keinan in the Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology at Cornell University. The Keinan lab studies how human genetic variation has arisen from evolutionary history and its role in common, complex disease risk. We develop computational and statistical methods in human population genomics and genome-wide association studies, and apply them to large-scale sequencing data. Current members of the lab have backgrounds in computer science, statistics, genetics, physics, and anthropology, which facilitates the collaborative development of methods and their genomic application. Research projects will be aligned with the interests of the successful candidates.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record in either statistical genetics, population genomics, or human genetics, as well as strong programming and statistical skills, with a Ph.D. in statistics, computer science, mathematics, genetics, or a related field. The starting date is flexible and can be as early as April 2014. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Competitive salaries commensurate with experience and skills, as well as a generous benefits package will be offered….
