Postdoctoral Researcher at Dalhousie University
The Myles lab at Dalhousie University (www.cultivatingdiversity.org) invites applications for a postdoctoral position in apple genomics. The position is available from July 1st, 2013 for a duration of 2 years with the possibility of extension.
The lab is seeking a postdoc to work on the analysis of genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data generated from a diverse collection
of more than 1000 apple cultivars. The successful applicant will have extensive experience with computer programming and will preferably have experience with Java and at least one other programming language. No previous experience in agriculture is required. The aim of the project is to develop novel imputation algorithms that will allow us to better exploit GBS data. Experience handling next-generation DNA sequence data and software development will be considered a major asset.
Interested applicants can send a cover letter and a CV to jobs@cultivatingdiversity.org.
