[情報] PhD position in human genomics

If interested in graduate work in population genomics and evolutionary medicine, please contact PingHsun (Benson) Hsieh, Ph.D.: hsiehph [@] umn.edu
https://cbs.umn.edu/contacts/pinghsun-hsieh

Our lab in the Department of Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development (GCD) at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, MN is looking for multiple highly motivated and creative students to study the full spectrum of human genetic diversity in relation to their evolutionary and functional consequences. Our lab specializes in the application of large long- and short-read genome datasets to understand the biological and evolutionary role of structural variants (SVs) that remain largely unexplored in
traditional human genetic studies.

Required and Preferred Qualifications: Applicants must have a B.S. degree in the field of Population Genetics, Evolutionary Biology, Computational Biology, Statistics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, or other disciplines with strong quantitative backgrounds and programming skills. Experience in population and statistical genetics analyses and working with large sequencing data sets are highly desired. The candidate must be highly motivated and independent with strong writing and communication skills.
Prospective students should apply either through the MCDB&G program (deadline Dec. 1st) or BICB program (deadline Jan. 15th).
