Job Description:
Leading quantitative genetics lab at Cornell University is looking to hire postdocs with a background in computational modeling, bioinformatics of genomic and molecular data, and/or statistical genetics. We are looking to hire researchers with a background in quantitative genetics, machine learning, bioinformatics of genomic and molecular data, and/or statistical genetics. Strong skills in computer programming and modeling are necessary. Researchers with experience in human, animal, and other model organisms and evolution are especially encouraged to apply. Join Ed Buckler and his group at Cornell University and help develop models based in genomics, molecular biology, and large-scale field evaluations to predict fitness consequences of mutations. We have a history of bridging quantitative genetics and genomics and applying this knowledge to improving crops with the aim of reducing hunger and environmental impact. Crop genomics is at a key moment, where the technologies to design crops have never been more powerful (genomic selection and genome editing). However, to effectively apply these technologies, we must first improve our capacity to predict the functional consequences of deleterious and adaptive alleles so that candidates can be developed selection and editing. We are looking for researchers wanting to tackle these important problems. In the current project, we are developing models of deleterious and adaptive variants in both maize and sorghum from global datasets, and applying this knowledge to accelerate sorghum breeding efforts in Haiti. Qualifications: Ph.D. in Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Genetics, or related field.

Interested candidates should submit a cover letter and CV to Sara Miller at sjm336@cornell.edu. Diversity and Inclusion are a part of Cornell University's heritage. We are a recognized employer and educator valuing AA/EEO, Protected Veterans, and Individuals with Disabilities. About Us: Cornell University is an innovative Ivy League university and a great place to work. Our inclusive community of scholars, students and staff impart an uncommon sense of larger purpose and contribute creative ideas to further the university's mission of teaching, discovery and engagement. With our main campus located in Ithaca, NY, Cornell's far-flung global presence includes the medical college's campuses on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Doha, Qatar, as well as the Cornell Tech campus opening on Roosevelt Island in the heart of New York City. We offer a rich array of services, programs and benefits to help employees advance in their career and enhance the quality of personal life, including: employee wellness, workshops, childcare and adoption assistance, parental leave, flexible work options.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
