Postdoctoral Research Associate

Postdoctoral Research Associate: Mechanistic Birth-Death Models for
Gene Duplication

Temple University

An NSF-funded postdoctoral research position is available for a
collaborative project involving the research groups of David Liberles
(Temple University from Fall, 2014; currently at University of Wyoming)
and Liang Liu (University of Georgia). The position is guaranteed for
1 year with the possibility of extension and the successful candidate
will be expected to relocate to Philadelphia, PA, USA.

The research project involves the construction of mechanistic models
for duplicate gene retention and their implementation in a phylogenetic
perspective in C++. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in
mathematics and statistics, strong C++ programming skills, and experience
with phylogenetic methods. Knowledge of evolutionary biology is a plus.

To apply, please send a cover letter that describes your
background, motivation, and interests as well as a full CV to
liberles@uwyo.edu. Please also arrange to have
3 letters of recommendation sent directly by the letter writer to the
above email address as well.  International applicants are encouraged
to apply and will be given full consideration.
