Job Description
We seek to fill a position at the post-doctoral level with a focus on the reconstruction of ancient pathogen genomes from archaeological contexts. The work will involve computational detection of ancient pathogen DNA in large metagenomic datasets, genomic reconstruction via either reference-based or de novo assembly approaches, and extensive comparative analyses integrating data from large collections of modern bacterial genomes. Data will draw upon archaeological bone from the Neolithic to post-Medieval periods, and will cover a broad geographical expanse, with an emphasis on Eurasian and American populations. Strong bioinformatics skills and a working knowledge of basic statistical methods are required. Prior experience in working with recombining organisms is preferred but not essential. The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in a relevant discipline (microbiology, biology, bioinformatics, computer science, mathematics, population genetics, etc.) and share an interest in human history. Competence in oral presentation is an asset, and experience with supervising or mentoring students is desirable.
