The American Museum of Natural History seeks highly qualified applicants for a postdoctoral position for its Gerstner Postdoctoral Scholars program in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. In addition to seeking outstanding applicants pursuing comparative biology research through computational and bioinformatics methods in the broad range of disciplines noted below, the 2021-22 application cycle also includes a special call for applicants who want to pursue aspects of comparative biology research relevant to human health or biomedicine.
Successful applicants will pursue independent and collaborative computational research in areas such as evolutionary genomics, spatial bioinformatics or biodiversity informatics, phylogenetics, phylogeography, population genetics, or high-throughput phenomic/phenotypic evolution studies. Gerstner Scholars in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (GSB&CB) also will contribute to the design, development and implementation of new algorithms and other bioinformatics tools that are customized for Museum research and address emerging big data issues in phylogenetic and comparative biology analyses.
