Position Title: Postdoc in Statistical Genomics

Duties & Responsibilities: The successful candidate is expected to carry out original research in the development of statistical and computational methods for the analysis of metagenomic count data. Metagenomics is the study of metagenomes, genetic materials recovering directly from samples involving multiple organisms. Thanks to faster and cheaper sequencing technology, it is now possible to sequence uncultured microbes sampled directly from their habitats, making the data extremely valuable for studying multiple scientific questions of interest, including clinical outcome prediction, bacterial community structure estimation, and biological threat detection. Other than the primary responsibility, there are many other opportunities for individual and joint research, especially those in connections with the statistics and bioinformatics group in the Department of Statistics at OSU (http://www.stat.osu.edu/~statgen) and the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (http://mbi.osu.edu). Initial appointment of this position is for 2 years.

Position Qualifications: Postdoctoral researcher position in statistical genomics at the Ohio State University (OSU). The position, immediately available, requires a Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, or related areas, with excellent computational
