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. The lab, in the Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior section, investigates machine learning approaches for spatial population genetics. Our research integrates custom neural architecture design, simulations, and publicly available genomic datasets to develop new inference methods. The Postdoctoral Associate will conduct research related to creating or testing deep learning models for genomics, exploring new techniques related to spatial simulations, or other topics discussed with the PI.
