Postdoc position available! Application review begins Sept. 13th.
The Bradburd Lab at Michigan State University is looking for a postdoc to join the lab and work on NIH-funded research developing statistical methods in spatial population genetics. Possible projects include: using pedigrees to estimate population density landscapes; two-locus models for the analysis of spatial population structure over genealogical strata; spatial models for identifying adaptive introgression or studying polygenic adaptation.
Research in the Bradburd Lab combines computational and statistical approaches, with a strong emphasis on empirical data analysis. The position is ideal for someone with training in statistical, theoretical, or computational population genetics, and/or someone with a strong background in evolution, mathematical biology, statistics, or computing, and an interest in population genetics.
The position is available for up to three years (starting at 1 year, with annual review), with a starting salary of $52,000/yr and full benefits. Given the uncertainties surrounding the state of the pandemic, the successful candidate may work remotely (i.e. ghostdoc), at least for the first year of the position, and possibly beyond. The expected start date is January 2022, but that date can be flexible for the right candidate.
The Bradburd lab values diversity and is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive lab environment. Applications from candidates with related scientific interests who are also passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM are strongly encouraged. Michigan State is an excellent place to be a postdoc, with an extraordinarily favorable cost-of-living : salary ratio, as well as many other labs engaged in exciting population genetics and evolutionary research.
