Postdoctoral position in Evolutionary Genomics at Rutgers University
The Department of Genetics and the Human Genetics Institute of New Jersey at Rutgers University are seeking qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position. There is no particular project associated with either of these positions, however recent work in the lab spans the intersection of machine learning, population genetics, comparative genomics, and evolutionary biology. More information about the Kern lab can be found here (http://kernlab.rutgers.edu/index.html). More information about the department can be found here (http://genetics.rutgers.edu/).
The Kern lab is located on the Busch campus of Rutgers University, in central New Jersey, and is within easy commuting range to New York City.
The ideal candidate would hold a Ph.D. and have a record of research achievement in computational biology, computer science, statistics, or a related field. A background in comparative/population/evolutionary genomics is highly desirable. In addition,the candidate should have experience programming in C, a scripting language (Ruby, Python, or Perl is fine), and would ideally be comfortable with cluster computing environments.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. The position could begin as early as June, 2013.
