Postdoctoral Position for Theoretical Aspects of Molecular Evolution
A Postdoctoral position is available immediately to work on theoretical
aspects of molecular evolution at McMaster University under the direction
of Dr. Brian Golding
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to develop theory to analyze
sequence data with an eye toward their molecular evolution and the
dynamic change of sequences over time. The successful candidate will
have experience in developing theory and in applying this theory to the
massive amounts of data available on the evolution of sequences.
Requirements: A PhD in bioinformatics, computer science, genetics or
other relevant topic; a strong background in statistics; proficient in
one or more scripting languages; experience with the analysis of large
genomic data sets; a good publication record.
The candidate should be able to work independently and to have
demonstrated the ability to develop with a project by generating new
ideas and collaborative skills. We are particularly looking for
candidates that have a proven publication track record.
Individuals interested in the position should send (1) a cover letter
summarizing their research interests and expertise relevant to the general
area (2) a Curriculum Vitae, (3) a listing of publications, and (4) the
names and contact information for at least two people who can provide
recommendations. The application should be sent as a single pdf file to
