We are looking to hire a research associate to work with us on method development and data analysis in statistical, evolutionary and population genomics. Our current foci of interest are in population genetics and complex traits, including understanding the evolutionary underpinnings of differences in genetic susceptibility to disease across groups, gene-by-environment interactions, trait prediction (with polygenic scores) and their portability across groups. Nonetheless, we aim to foster self-driven research and are happy to branch out into new questions in statistical and population genetics beyond our current focus. Prospective colleague must have a strong quantitative background, modelling skills and/or extensive experience with genomic data analysis, as well as a sincere interest in tackling biological questions. The Harpak Lab is a research group at the University of Texas at Austin studying evolutionary, statistical and population genomics. The lab is part of both the Department of Integrative Biology and the Dell Medical School, and enjoys collaborative ties with both medical and basic science groups at UT Austin and beyond
Eligibility
Candidate must have a PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics or related field. Prospective research associate must have a strong quantitative background, modelling skills and/or extensive experience with genomic data analysis, as well as a sincere interest in tackling biological questions. Relevant education and experience may be substituted as appropriate.
