Dear Bioconductor community, this position is available to extend excellent analysis methods to new experimental problems. All progress will be developed with, and returned to, the community. Justin Borevitz Biostatistician/Research Fellow: Probe level model development for oligonucleotide tiling microarrays. Competitive funding is available for 2+ years to develop robust tools for novel uses for tiling arrays in the department of Evolution and Ecology at the University of Chicago. Fellow will lead research and author papers relating to high density polymorphism analysis from RNA and genomic DNA hybridization data for evolutionary genomic problems. This may include improvements and extensions on Single Feature Polymorphism analysis, new gene prediction, alternative splicing, expression level eQTL analysis, ChIP chip, and methylome analysis. Large Data sets and new array designs will be generated and are available focusing on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Experience with R/Bioconductor, low level microarray analysis, array design, HMM, empirical Bayes, linear models, experimental design, and power analysis/simulations is important. Knowledge of Quantitative genetics, population genetics, and evolutionary genetics is desired and further training will be provided. Background information is available http://natural-systems.org specifically http://natural-systems.org/BorevitzEckerAnnualReview.pdf Please email CV and a short description of research experience/interests to biostat@pondside.uchicago.edu Position currently available, applications will be accepted until position is filled. ----- Justin Borevitz Ecology and Evolution (CLSC 915E) University of Chicago 1101 E. 57th St. Chicago, IL 60637 USA (773) 702-5948 office (773) 702-3172 fax borevitz@uchicago.edu http://naturalvariation.org
