Job Description:
Postdoctoral Fellow (Dr. Jesse Poland's Lab) for Department of Plant Pathology. This Postdoctoral Scientist will lead approaches to develop and apply whole genomic prediction models for genomic selection in Kansas State University and CIMMYT wheat breeding programs. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to independently design and implement complex genomics research experiments using the latest statistical modeling and machine learning approaches. The position will require synthesis of the current state-of-the-art in the discipline, and a comprehensive understanding of appropriate experimental design and subsequent analysis. Research results must be assessed and analyzed in a cohesive and coherent manner, and presented to stakeholders and the scientific community. The postdoc is expected to lead the preparation and publication of peer-review manuscripts that present research findings from the project. Required Minimum Qualifications: PhD in Plant Breeding, Genetics, Bioinformatics or closely related discipline. PhD must be conferred prior to beginning employment. - In-depth knowledge and experience with analysis of whole-genome and reduced representation sequencing. - Experience with genomic prediction models. - Strong proficiency in data management and programming with some combination of Java, Python, Perl/BioPerl, C/C++ and the R statistical package. - Experience building and deploying applications on Linux cluster environment. - Familiarity with database development, design and optimization. - Experience developing and implementing statistical modeling for whole-genome prediction and trait association analysis. - Demonstrated experience creating high-quality, peer-reviewed manuscripts. - Experience with code version control (Git) and program/code development in collaborative environment. - Excellent interpersonal, verbal and written skills. - Strong commitment to expanding and fostering diversity. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with wheat genomics. - Experience with field experiments in applied breeding program.
