Postdoctoral positions in Population Genomics at University of Oregon

We are seeking qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position in the
joint lab group of Drs. Andrew Kern and Peter Ralph in the Institute
of Ecology and Evolution at the University of Oregon. Candidates would
work in a few areas, including but not limited to: the development and
application of deep learning methods for population genomic inference
and/or  the role of geographic space in adaptation. We are particularly
interested in understanding how the forces of migration, selection,
and demography shape patterns of genetic variation in whole-genome data
from human, mosquito, and a variety of non-model organism populations.

The ideal candidate would hold a Ph.D. in population genetics,
evolutionary biology, phylogenetics/phylogeography, computational biology,
computer science, statistics, or a related field. Indeed, your exact
field of research to date is less important than your interest in the
scientific questions and motivation to learn. The ideal candidate would
have experience programming in python or R, and have some experience
with cluster computing environments.

More information about the Kern-Ralph co-lab can be found here:
https://kr-colab.github.io/ - note in particular our expectations
(https://kr-colab.github.io/expectations).We are an extremely
collaborative group, thus lab members work both on independent projects
as well as collaborative projects. The position has funding for multiple
years, so we hope to find candidates that will be with us for at least
two years.  More information about the Institute for Ecology and Evolution
can be found here: https://ie2.uoregon.edu/ . The lab is located on
the gorgeous University of Oregon campus. Eugene is a wonderful small
city with an excellent quality of life that affords abundant outdoor
opportunities in the nearby Cascade mountains and Oregon coast.

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the
position is filled. Interested candidates should submit an electronic
version of their CV along with a cover letter describing their
qualifications and relevant experience to Andrew Kern (adkern@uoregon.edu)
and Peter Ralph (plr@uoregon.edu). Persons with identities historically
excluded from science and/or population genomics are particularly
encouraged to apply. Inquiries welcome: please write if you have questions
about the job or the qualifications.
