Description

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the University of Oxford's Big Data Institute, to work on efficient simulation methods and analytical models of background selection.

Background selection is one of the most important evolutionary forces, yet we lack efficient simulation and analysis methods.

You will work in the Kelleher group, in close collaboration with the Lohse group in Edinburgh to develop new simulation and inference methods, and implement these in the _msprime_ simulator and/or tskit library.

You will develop high-quality open-source software as part of the globally-distributed tskit-dev team.

This position is offered full time on a fixed term contract until 30 June 2026 and is funded by the EPSRC.
