next-generation sequencing technologies. See
and publications.
The Stephens lab provides an exceptional research environment, sharing
computational space with the lab of Professor John Novembre.
Members of the different labs have a range of computational, statistical
and biological backgrounds, and interact on a daily basis. There are also strong
ties with several experimental groups at the University of Chicago,
including Professors Yoav Gilad and Anna Di Rienzo.
Applicants should have, or be studying for, a PhD in statistics,
computer science, quantitative biology, or related quantitative
discipline. A strong computational background is also required.
Applicants should send a CV, Research Statement, and names of 3
