Postdoctoral Associate in Population Genomics
Postdoctoral positions are available with Jeffrey
Kidd in the Department of Human Genetics and Department of Computational
Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan Medical
School. These positions are focused on population genomic analysis to
learn about the demographic history of populations and species and how
demography interacts with selection to create observed patterns of
variation. Multiple projects are available in a number of systems,
including human populations (particularly African populations), dogs,
and other species.
Qualifications
The applicant should have a Ph.D. in genetics,
ecology and evolution, anthropology, molecular biology, bioinformatics,
computational biology or a related field and have experience in the
analysis of genome-wide data. Excellent written and oral communication
skills are required.
Successful applicants will be part of a
cutting-edge research program in genomics with ample opportunities for
collaboration with researchers at the University of Michigan and around
the world.
To apply, send a CV, cover letter describing your
research experiences and ongoing research interests, and contact
