[ECOLOG-L] Postdoc: Computational Genomics @ Lawton-Rauh Lab, Clemson Uni
Computational Genomics Postdoctoral Research Associate Position Clemson University The Lawton-Rauh Lab is recruiting a computational genomics postdoctoral research associate to join the RosBREED team on the newly-funded RosBREED2 project (www.rosbreed.orghttp://www.rosbreed.org; USDA-Specialty Crops Research Initiative, 5 years). The RosBREED team is an extensive collaboration amongst computational scientists, breeders, geneticists, physiologists, pathologists, and socio-economists. A major goal of this project is to translate genome evolution and diversity/divergence amongst cultivars and wild relatives into modern DNA-based diagnostic tools to help deliver new cultivars with combined superior horticultural quality and disease resistance. This computational genomics scientist will be based at Clemson University to work with Amy Lawton-Rauh as postdoctoral advisor. Resources will include the Institute for Translational Genomics (Stephen Kresovich), the CU-Genomics and Computational Biology Lab (Chris Saski), and research computing training opportunities (http://citi.clemson.edu/ciprac/). This position is targeted to begin late spring/early summer 2015 and is currently funded for two years. Activities: The major research focus for this postdoc will be on comparative genomics analysis of domestication-related genome regions plus locus-specific and genome-wide haploblock discovery and diagnostic tool implementation and optimization. This post has several specific, cutting-edge objectives for basic research-enabled tool development to successfully achieve goals of this grant coupled with excellent opportunities for other related exploratory projects. Scientific publications, extension articles, participation in conferences and project meetings, and networking across breeding programs and allied science programs both U.S-wide and internationally are expected. Job functions: *Work with the CU-GCBL web portal computational genomics group to collate and curate relevant genome sequence data from multiple platforms *Employ and optimize comparative analytical methods to discover haplotype blocks (haploblocks) in cultivars, diverse germplasm, and wild relatives *Actively participate in networking and project team activities (including extensively with the international RosBREED group) *Communicate results in multiple formats (journals, conferences, project reports, plus miscellaneous relevant media) Qualifications: Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Genomics, Computational Biology, Biological Sciences, Crop Sciences, or a closely related field. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated team player with excellent communication skills and computational genomics experience. Preference will be given to candidates with evidence of successful management and documentation of large datasets and a strong publication record. Experiences with complex genomes, diverse sequencing platforms, workflow implementation and optimization, creative problem-solving, and a commitment to translation of genome dynamics models to practical applications are highly desired. Familiarity with the following is advantageous but not required: statistical genetics, population and quantitative genetics, and domestication processes. Pay work schedule: Standard hours: 37.5. Salary will be commensurate with credentials and experience. This position is funded for two years. Applying: If you are interested in this position, please send inquiries to Amy Lawton-Rauh (am...@clemson.edumailto:am...@clemson.edu). To apply, email the following: a cover letter, current CV, and the contact information (phone number and email address) of three referees. Consideration of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. To ensure full consideration, please submit materials by April 3, 2015. Applications will be reviewed as received and qualified applicants will be invited to interview on or after April 3, 2015 or until the position is filled.
