POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW

Computational Geneticist

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Oklahoma State University

Stillwater, OK 74078

 

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral fellow for Computational Geneticist

Position Description

Funding is available for a postdoctoral research position to work in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Oklahoma State University. For more information on the Department, please see https://agriculture.okstate.edu/departments-programs/biochemistry/. The applicant hired will work with the Chen laboratory (https://experts.okstate.edu/charles.chen) that focuses on identifying genomic variants key to adaptation in large and complex plant genomes.

The successful candidate will lead computational efforts to characterize the importance of genomic variants, including other features such as structural variants and variations at multi-omics level, for predictive analysis. Our overarching goal is to derive genomics-enabled solution for agricultural advancement, tree improvement, and genetic resource management in the face of climate uncertainty. Additionally, the postdoc will receive mentorship and opportunities for professional development opportunities tailored to their career goals.

This is an 11-month temporary 100% research, non-tenure track position. Appointments are to be made for a term of one year or less.
