Post-doc position available!

We are looking to hire an NIJ-funded post-doc to collaborate on a project to better understand the accuracy of forensic genetic genealogical searching. The postdoc will gain experience in pedigree-based IBD analysis considering population genetic variation. The lab encourages innovative communication and examination of social justice questions related to our work. 
 
This is a great opportunity for a scientist who is looking to do population/statistical genetics research with a social impact, and who is interested in collaborating with brilliant, tenacious, and creative SFSU students. 

While the postdoc’s primary role will be in research, they will also be well-positioned to mentor masters and undergraduate students in the lab. The postdoc will also have flexible teaching opportunities, but not requirements. Depending on the postdoc’s interests, this project may include collaborations with population geneticists Graham Coop at UC Davis and Doc Edge at USC, bioethicist Malia Fullerton at UW, and/or law professor Erin Murphy at NYU. Happy to discuss long-term remote working options.
 
Interested scientists can email Rori Rohlfs <<rrohlfs@sfsu.edu>> with a 1-2 page cover letter describing your specific interest in this position and CV.  Don’t hesitate to be in touch with any questions!
