Advance Notice: TWO POSTDOC POSITIONS IN STATISTICAL GENETICS
The BBSRC has just announced the award of grants to fund two post-doctoral
statisticians to work on challenging problems in genetics. Formal
advertisements are expected to be placed shortly, but preliminary
expressions of interest are now invited, in part because the formal start
date of the grant must be set within the next two weeks.
The projects concern:
(1) Phylogeny reconstruction - supervisors David Balding and Mike
Denham (Applied Statistics) and Peter Holland (Animal and Microbial
Sciences).
(2) Investigating human X-chromosome mutation and recombination
processes - supervisors David Balding and John Whittaker (Applied
Statistics). This grant is in collaboration with a team from the
Division of Medical and Molecular Genetics at UMDS (Guy's Hospital),
London.
Both projects will involve recent developments in computational
statistics as well as the latest developments in fast-moving areas of
genetics.
