Research Associate or Postdoctoral position in Statistical Genetics 
at the University of Chicago, Department of Human Genetics

 

We are seeking an applicant with a Ph.D. in statistics, biostatistics, 
statistical genetics or a related field. We are offering an appointment 
at either the research associate or postdoctoral level. Programming 
ability and experience with languages such as C, C++, Java or similar 
is required, and knowledge of R is preferred. The successful candidate 
will be primarily responsible for methods and software development and 
data analysis.

 

This NIH-funded project focuses on the analysis of complex, multi-generational 
mouse pedigrees and will implement statistical approaches in order 
to address genotype/phenotype correlations. The project has aspects of 
genome-wide association as well as pedigree-based linkage and association, 
permutation and simulation. This project will provide extensive opportunities 
for collaboration and publication. Candidates will have the opportunity to 
regularly interact with a dynamic team of junior and senior level researchers 
at the University of Chicago in the Department of Human Genetics, Statistics, 
Genetics Medicine, Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience. Faculty will be 
available to provide guidance and training as needed and consistent with the 
goals of the project.
