The Nekrutenko lab (http://nekrut.bx.psu.edu) is looking to hire a postdoctoral researcher with knowledge of genomics and computational biology. Our resources and links with medical researchers at Penn State College of Medicine and computational biologists from the Galaxy team (http://galaxy.psu.edu/) put us in a great position to conduct cutting edge research. Candidates should be familiar with general computational biology techniques. Experience with next-generation sequencing data analyses is desirable. Working knowledge of statistics is a bonus. You will be joining an established dynamic group.

Penn State is a vibrant scientific community with particular strengths in computational genomics and molecular evolution. Our location, in State College, Pennsylvania, is known for excellent schools and numerous opportunities for outdoor activities. The position is supported by an NIH grant.
