Contribute to manuscripts, presentations, and open-source software development

Participate in interdisciplinary collaborations related to predictive breeding and genome editing

Travel to the United Kingdom to collaborate with project partners at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Oxford

Required Qualifications*

PhD in statistics, computer science, computational biology, genetics, applied mathematics, or a related quantitative field is required

Proof of degree completion must be in hand on or before the start date

Strong programming and computational skills

Experience with statistical modeling, machine learning, or large-scale data analysis

Desired Qualifications*

Experience with population genetics or statistical genetics

Familiarity with Bayesian methods, probabilistic modeling, or graphical models

Experience with scientific computing in Python, JAX, Torch, Julia, C++, or related languages

Experience with high-performance computing or scalable algorithms

Interest in interdisciplinary research spanning genomics and evolutionary biology
