Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Chicago
The University of Chicago is seeking two postdoctoral researchers to work with Yoav Gilad and Jonathan Pritchard in the Department of Human Genetics.
One of the main challenges for geneticists in the ‘post-genome’ era is to understand the genetic architecture of gene regulation and how differences in gene regulation affect complex phenotypes, including human diseases. By collecting valuable samples, developing and adapting new technologies, and combining expertise in evolutionary biology, comparative genetics, and genomics, these groups have made key contributions to the study of gene regulation in humans and closely related primates.
The open postdoc positions are not targeted to specific projects; postdocs are expected to choose a project based on their own interests. Both empirical and computational biologists are encouraged to apply.
If interested, email a cover letter outlining your research experience and interests, a CV, and contact information for 3 referees to Yoav Gilad (gilad@uchicago.edu).
