     Postdoc Position in Quantitative Genetics - Plant Breeding and Genetics Section, SIPS

     Plant Breeding and Genetics Section

     Postdoc Position in Quantitative Genetics at Cornell University

    

     Position Function

     The School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University is seeking a highly motivated postdoc to conduct studies in the modeling of complex genotype by environment interactions and the implementation of genomic selection in crop breeding programs. The position is in the Section of Plant Breeding. The successful applicant is expected to apply advanced modeling techniques to phenotypic, genomic and environmental data to estimate genetic parameters related to plant responses to environmental stresses. In addition to modeling stress response, the position will work closely with collaborators at CIMMYT (International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) to optimize the implementation of genomic selection in African maize breeding programs.

     The position is anticipated to start in January 2018 and the search will continue until the position is filled. Salary is competitive and commensurate with background and experience. Benefits package is included.

     Anticipated Division of Time

     Model development and data analysis: 60%

     Breeding program design: 20%

     Communication and coordination with Collaborators: 10%

     Training of lab members and collaborators in quantitative genetics: 10%

     Requirements

     Requirements include a PhD in plant or animal breeding, population genetics, statistics or computation-related fields with an interest in plant breeding applications.

     Preferred Specific Skills

     Mixed models, Bayesian methodology, genomic selection, sequence alignment and variant calling methods, variant imputation methods, and programing experience in Fortran, C or Python.

     How to Apply: Candidates are encouraged to send curriculum vitae, statement of research interest and contact information for three references to Dr. Kelly Robbins (krr73@cornell.edu ).
