Description:

Postdoctoral researcher is sought to participate in analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of Alzheimer’s disease and related quantitative traits. This position (1-2 years, extension possible) will be available in the Kauwe Lab (http://kauwelab.byu.edu) in the Department of Biology at Brigham Young University (located in Provo, Utah). The starting date is Sept. 1, 2010.

Potential analyses would include but not be limited to association analyses of qualitative and quantitative traits, haplotyping and examining gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. There will be opportunities for collaborative research with statisticians and computational biologists here at BYU and with collaborators at several other institutions.

Candidates should have substantial statistical (or mathematical) expertise, strong programming skills in a computer language (eg. SAS, PERL and/or R), and hold a PhD in statistical genetics, computational biology, bioinformatics or other related areas. Previous experience in GWAS or microarray analysis, quantitative genetics, or computational biology is preferred. Salary and benefits will follow the NIH pay scale.
