About this position
Postdoctoral Researchers in Computational Genomics & Algorithms are being recruited at the University of Central Florida in the Department of Computer Science.
The lab focuses on algorithm design, software development, computational genomics, population genomics, pangenome analysis, and large-scale human genetics. The group has developed tools such as RaPID for identity-by-descent segment calling and PBWT-based methods for large-scale haplotype analysis, and works on ultra-efficient pangenome indexing at terabase scale.
Research is connected to major projects supported by the Human Pangenome Reference Consortium and multiple NIH-funded research grants, with applications to large biobank datasets such as UK Biobank and All of Us.
Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field. Strong programming and algorithmic skills are essential; C++ is preferred, while Python or Java are also acceptable. A strong publication record is expected. Prior genomics experience is not required.
To apply, email your CV, a short statement of research interests, and three references to [email protected] with the subject line Postdoc Application – Your Name.
