Postdoctoral

A postdoctoral position is open in our group to engage collaborative research on the role of genomic polymorphism in variation in organ function and gene expression in health and disease.  The collaboration is with Ronald Crystal and his research team in the Department of Genetic Medicine at the Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) in NYC: http://www.med.cornell.edu/research/ronaldcrystal

The position will be based in Ithaca in the Mezey lab (with regular trips to WCMC). The research is focused on the analysis of whole-genome expression and whole-genome SNP data in healthy individuals and individuals with disease. State-of-the-art statistical methods in the areas of population genetics, association mapping, kernel methods, and regulatory pathway inference will be developed.  Ideal applicants will have had training in statistics and/or computer science and research experience in any of the following areas: computational statistical inference, machine learning, semi-parametric network inference, the listed method development areas.

The position is available immediately and will be left open until suitable candidates are found.  Salary will be competitive and appropriate to applicant experience. To apply, email a cover letter, CV, and the names and contact information of three references to BOTH geneticmedicine at med dot cornell dot edu and CARLY FERGUSON: ctf8 at cornell dot edu

Graduate

Graduate students who join our group have already been accepted into the graduate school at Cornell. Our students are generally members of the following graduate fields: Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Biometry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Genetics and Development, Computational Biology, and the Tri-Institutional Training Program in Computational Biology and Medicine. Please see the following for information on applying to the Cornell Graduate School and the Tri-Institutional Program:

Undergraduate

Our group generally has from 3-6 undergraduate researchers working ~15-20 hours a week in either the molecular lab or on data analysis projects at any given time. Openings usually occur at the end of each semester for the following semester or summer. These are competitive positions and are usually filled quickly. If you are interested in the possibility of a research position in our group, please send a CV and an email describing your interests to Dr. Mezey before the start of a semester or summer.
