Duties & Responsibilities: We are seeking a biostatistician and/or post-doctoral fellow whose principal duties will be to run statistical analysis of genetic data arising from a study of diabetes on a population of outbred rats. Our laboratory uses heterogeneous stock (HS) rats (animals that are outbred from eight inbred strains) and sophisticated statistical genetics methods to find regions of the genome that affect outcomes related to diabetes (see Solberg Woods et al., 2010, and 2012). These analyses are followed by DNA sequencing and gene expression experiments that provide further information to help identify underlying causative genes. This NIH-funded position comprises use of statistical analyses and software developed specifically for use in highly recombinant animal populations such as the HS (see Valdar et al., 2009). The applicant will join a young and growing laboratory that will provide a collegial and supportive environment. The laboratory is based at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee with collaborations at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (see http://valdarlab.unc.edu/).
Position Qualifications: The successful applicant should have relevant scientific education (MS or PhD degree in biostatistics, compuational biology or related field), an interest in quantitative/computational biology and genome research, background in statistics and programming experience are necessary, as well as good written and oral communication skills
