Postdoc opportunity at UT Austin for graduating students

Applications are invited for multiple post-doctoral positions in the Narasimhan Lab (http://vagheesh.cns.utexas.edu), in the Department of Integrative Biology, Statistics and Data Science, and Population Health at the University of Texas at Austin. The primary focus of our work is on human medical and evolutionary genomics.

We seek motivated postdoctoral fellows to develop novel computational methods for large and complex datasets and to leverage these towards insights into human health or understanding human evolution. We are particularly interested in methods that integrate information across linked imaging, genetic and electronic health care record data as well as methods for time series analysis of genetic data from ancient DNA. 

Interested candidates should email me directly with their CV (vagheesh@utexas.edu), and exceptional applications would also be considered for a Stengyl-Weyr fellowship (stengl-wyer-scholars), a newly started program at UT Austin providing 3 years of support and designed to provide a pathway to independence for early career scholars.
