The Assis group (http://assisgroup.fau.edu/) at Florida Atlantic
University is currently recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral
scholar to work on NIH- and NSF-sponsored projects.

Our group develops and applies machine learning approaches to address
questions about the evolution of adaptive and disease-associated traits. A
major focus of our work is on structural variations (SVs), which arise
from duplications, deletions, inversions, and translocations of large
genomic segments. We are currently designing novel machine learning
methods for understanding the evolutionary and disease implications of
different types of SVs by determining how they modify gene expression
patterns, protein structures, and molecular interactions. We are also
interested in predicting associations between SVs and diverse traits,
including antibiotic resistance.

The ideal candidate will have a strong computational background and will
be given extensive freedom in choosing their research direction within
the broad scope of research areas covered in the group.

The position will also offer a competitive salary and is located in the
beautiful beachside city of Boca Raton, FL.

If interested in applying, please send a current CV to Raquel Assis
(rassis@fau.edu).
