We are always looking to recruit motivated PhD students/post-docs with strong quantitative​ skills. Experience in programming, computer science, and/or statistics is a prerequisite. Projects are available across the spectrum of statistical, population, and medical genetics. Day-to-day work ranges between hands-on medical data analysis and probabilistic modeling, and could fit students with diverse backgrounds and interests.

Lab members will benefit from working in a fast-paced and exciting scientific field. Some projects have immediate medical consequences and some provide an opportunity for sophisticated basic research in probability and statistics. Successful research accomplishments are also a platform for careers in the rapidly-growing fields of data sciences, health analytics, and precision medicine.

Required skills:

• Programming experience: one or (preferably) more of Linux (shell scripting), Python, C++/Java, R.
• Strong quantitative skills, in particular in probabilistic modeling and statistics, and experience in data analysis.
• Preferred: experience in genomics and bioinformatics.
