An NSF-funded postdoctoral research position in Computational
Molecular Evolution, emphasizing retroviral proteins is available
immediately. Research will be conducted collaboratively in the
laboratories of Drs. Richard Goldstein and David Mindell in the
University of Michigan Departments of Chemistry and Ecology and
Evolutionary Biology. The goals of the work are: (1) to develop and
refine models of the substitution process in protein evolution
accounting for rate heterogeneity across structural and functional
site classes; (2) to develop efficient optimization methods for
adapting these models to specific proteins and protein types; (3) to
assess validity of these models via analyses of simulated data as well
as analyses of proteins from organisms with non-controversial
phylogenies; (4) to apply these methods to questions regarding
retrovirus phylogeny. Preferred applicants will possess strong
analytical, statistical and computer skills (familiarity with C), as
well as some background knowledge and interest in molecular evolution,
phylogenetic analyses, and/or protein structural biology. Interested
individuals should send a summary of their research experience and
skills, curriculum vitae and the addresses and phone numbers of three
referees.
