POSTDOC IN POPULATION GENETICS, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
A postdoctoral position in population genetics is available in Molly Przeworski's group at the University of Chicago. The specific project is flexible. Current work in the group focuses on a wide range of topics, from natural selection in humans and other primates to understanding patterns and processes of recombination. For more information, see .
Our group shares space and weekly lab meetings with those of Jonathan Pritchard and Matthew Stephens and enjoys close ties with other members of the Human Genetics and Ecology & Evolution departments, notably Anna Di Rienzo, Dick Hudson and Carole Ober. Moreover, it benefits from the large and outstanding community of researchers in population genetics, statistics and genomics at the University of Chicago.
Applicants for the position must have either a background in theoretical population genetics, with experience in data analysis, or come from a quantitative field (such as statistics or computer science) and have a strong interest in genetics and evolution. Programming and bioinformatics skills are essential. Informal inquiries as well as applications (including a CV, copies of relevant publications and two letters of recommendation) should be emailed to Molly Przeworski at mfp@uchicago.edu. The starting date is Spring- Summer 2010.
