Job Description: 

The Veeramah Lab at Stony Brook
(http://life.bio.sunysb.edu/ee/veeramahlab/index.html) has an opening for a
postdoctoral researcher to begin in January 2015 (earlier or later start
dates may be negotiable). The position will primarily involve the analysis
of 2nd generation sequencing data from primates using model-based
quantitative frameworks within two specific research themes. The first will
be using whole genome data from small pedigrees to examine mutation and
recombination rate variation amongst different primate lineages. The second
will be using ancient DNA from early Medieval European skeletons to infer
the population demographic dynamics of the European migration period, with a
particular emphasis on the Lombards. As well as primary research duties
applicants will be expected to write papers, help in grant writing and
train/mentor graduate students.

The successful applicant should have or will shortly obtain a PhD in the
areas of population, evolutionary or anthropological genetics, while at
least some computer programming experience (particularly in python,
equivalent or lower level languages) is required. Prior experience analyzing
2nd generation sequencing data, analyzing ancient DNA and/or modeling
demographic scenarios with genetic data is desirable.

Applications will be accepted until November 3rd 2014. Applicants should a
submit a State employment application, cover letter, resume, two references
and a one page research statement to:

Dr. Krishna R. Veeramah
Department of Ecology & Evolution
Life Sciences Building, Room 650
