Postdoctoral position in malaria population genomics

A postdoctoral position is available immediately to conduct population genomic analyses of the malaria parasite P. falciparum. Data will be derived from SNP genotyping arrays and Illumina/Solexa sequencing. Research activities will include screens for natural selection, comparison of data collected on different platforms, analysis of linkage disequilibrium, and association studies for drug resistance and other phenotypes.The successful applicant will be based in the laboratory of Daniel L. Hartl at Harvard University and will also interact with Daniel E. Neafsey at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA. Applicants should have a strong background in population genetics and computational analysis, as well as a deep interest in applying evolutionary tools to address public health problems. Demonstrated ability to code in perl/python/R or the equivalent is essential. Applicants should email their CV and the names and contact information of three references to Daniel L. Hartl <dhartl@oeb.harvard.edu>. Harvard University and the Broad Institute are equal opportunity/affirmative action employers
