Postdoctoral Scholar in Theoretical Population Genetics

University of Chicago, Dept. of Ecol. & Evol., Steinruecken Lab

A postdoctoral scholar position is available in the research group of Matthias Steinrücken in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Chicago. In the group, we are developing theoretical, computational and statistical methods for population genomics analysis. In particular, we focus on developing population genetic methods and theory for inferring complex demographic histories as well as detecting signatures of selection using modern and ancient population genomic datasets. Specific projects are flexible based on the scholar's interests.

The Department of Ecology and Evolution has a very collaborative and unique environment with expertise in theoretical and empirical approaches to questions in ecology and evolutionary genetics. Moreover, the University of Chicago provides ample opportunities for interactions with outstanding researchers in overlapping areas, particularly in the Departments of Statistics, Human Genetics, and Genetic Medicine.

Candidates should have a PhD in Statistics, Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science, or in a related field with substantial quantitative training. Research experience in population genetics is beneficial, but not required. The start date is negotiable, and the salary will be competitive and based on level of experience.

To apply, please send your application to steinrue@uchicago.edu. Your application should include a brief cover letter, a cv, a one-page description of past research and future interests, and contact information for three references. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled, but should be received by December 1, 2024 to ensure full consideration. Candidates from diverse backgrounds are particularly encouraged to apply. Please see https://steinrueckenlab.uchicago.edu/ to learn more about the group and send any questions regarding the position to steinrue@uchicago.edu.
