Postdoctoral Fellow, Biology Smith Lab
About The Position
The Department of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a post-doctoral research position under the supervision of Dr. Chris Smith. Our lab studies spatial population genetics, using simulation-based inference and machine learning to infer the evolutionary and ecological processes that shape genetic variation. The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research exploring new inference techniques, applying cutting-edge tools to address biological questions, advancing deep learning models, or other topics discussed with the PI. We use publicly available and simulated genomic data.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in population genetics, computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, or a related field
- Demonstrated experience leading computational research projects
Responsibilities
- Building computational pipelines for simulation experiments and analyzing genomic sequencing data
- Designing, implementing, and overseeing research projects focused on methods development for understanding genetic variation within and between populations
- Writing scientific publications and presenting findings at conferences
- Actively participating in lab meetings and discussions
