Two postdoctoral researcher positions are available in the
computational evolutionary biology lab of Jeremy M. Brown at Louisiana
State University. Research in the Brown lab is broadly centered on the
use of phylogenetic approaches to understand organismal history and
molecular evolution.
Position 1 is part of a project funded by the National Science
Foundation to develop and apply a suite of related statistical
approaches for assessing the fit of stochastic models to sequence and
trait data. The Brown lab is collaborating extensively on this project
with the lab of Bob Thomson at the University of Hawaii – Manoa, as well
as the developers of RevBayes and the authors of various R packages.
Position 2 is not tied to a specific project, but research connected
to other areas of active inquiry in the Brown lab will be strongly
preferred. These areas include the development of new techniques for
extracting information from large collections of phylogenetic trees, the
exploration of new models and priors for Bayesian phylogenetics, and
the investigation of genome-wide phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns.
