MATLAB Molecular Biology & Evolution Toolbox

Postdoctoral Position in Computational/Evolutionary Genomics

A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. James Cai in the Department of Veterinary Integrative Biosciences at the Texas A&M University (College Station, TX). The Cai lab (http://www.genomezoo.net/) focuses on computational research in population genomics and molecular evolution.

Candidates should have obtained a PhD degree in Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Programming skills (ideally in Matlab and C) and experience in the application of computational methods to high-throughput genomic data are highly desirable. The successful candidate will work on a variety of projects to develop statistical tests and computational tools to investigate evolutionary processes shaping genome variability patterns. You will also have the opportunity to pursue independent research related to major research themes of the lab.

Interested applicants should submit a CV, a brief (2-3 paragraphs) statement of her/his research interests and experience, and contact information of three references by email to jcai@tamu.edu. Informal inquiries are welcome.
