GeorgiaTech_ComputationalGenetics_TenureTrack

The School of Biological Sciences (https://biosciences.gatech.edu/) at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in Computational Genetics. Applicants will be considered at all ranks. We seek outstanding scientists developing and applying innovative statistical, computational, and data-science approaches to understand the genetic architecture of complex traits. We are particularly interested in candidates whose computationally-oriented research in evolution, behavior, and/or human biology, addresses fundamental questions about genetic variation as well as its consequences.

Appropriate programs may include population and quantitative genetics, statistical genetics, evolutionary genomics, computational biology, integrative omics, machine learning for genetic discovery, and approaches providing mechanistic insight into disease susceptibility. Candidates are expected to demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the teaching and mentoring of students.
