Postdoctoral positions are available in the Department of Computational Medicine & Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan Medical School in the area of bioinformatics and computational genomics. Our laboratory develops and applies state-of-the-art analytical techniques to study the structure and organization of vertebrate genomes in efforts to further understand human diseases and disorders.

We are looking for computational biologists to support and complement ongoing projects in the laboratory. Current projects include the analysis of next-generation whole-genome sequencing data to identify pathogenic mutations and subchromosomal genomic alterations; the development of new analytical methods to derive informative and translational information from model vertebrate genomes; and the assessment of the effects of copy number variation on specific metabolic pathways. Further information about our laboratory can be found at http://millslab.ccmb.med.umich.edu.

Interested individuals must have or be close to obtaining a Ph.D. degree and have demonstrated a high level of research productivity through publication in top peer-reviewed journals. Candidates should have a strong background in bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, evolutionary/population genetics, and/or related quantitative field. Extensive experience using statistical and scripting languages (e.g., PERL, Python, R, SAS) as well as a working knowledge of UNIX/Linux systems is required. Experience with analyzing next generation sequencing or microarray data would also be desirable, but is not essential. Our group has several large-scale collaborative efforts, and interested candidates must be able to work closely with international teams of scientists with broad areas of expertise.

Applicants should email a cover letter, CV, brief research statement and list of 3 references to Dr. Ryan Mills (remills@umich.edu) or through the system below. Please combine all files into a single PDF and use the subject line “Postdoc Application: (name)”.

The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
