Positions

Postdoctoral Researchers

We are looking for postdoctoral scientists to join our lab at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

We investigate how genetic variation among individuals influences gene expression, cell biology, and complex traits. Typical projects combine wet-lab experimental genomics with statistical genetics & computational biology, using yeast as our main model system. In addition to our wet lab, we are part of the Genome Systems Lab, a large collaborative space for computational research that we share with the groups of Chad Myers, PingHsun Hsieh, and Arlsan Zaidi.

You will have considerable freedom to pursue your research goals, assuming they broadly fit with the interests of the group. Our lab is supported by generous and flexible funding from the NIH, giving us the ability to freely conduct curiosity-driven research. Opportunities also exist to join ongoing projects.

Qualifications: A Ph.D. in genetics, genomics, biology, statistics, computer science, physics, or relevant combinations thereof. Ideal candidates will have expertise in genetics, genomics, and/or computational biology. Successful applicants will have a track record of published achievements (preprints are welcome), and thrive in a collaborative and rigorous environment. The University of Minnesota is an equal opportunity educator and employer.

Please send pdf files of a cover letter explaining your interests and how they fit in the lab, along with your CV and contact information for three references to falbert@umn.edu.
