Yeast quantitative genetics post-doctoral positions at Duke University Medical Center

Positions are available for post-docs to work on a recently NIH funded grant “High throughput S. cerevisiae HAM, GWA & QT/QTL architecture resource”. Our understanding of quantitative traits, which includes pharmacogenetic variations in human drug efficacy and side effects, is poor. Improving our understanding of quantitative traits and of pharmacogenetics is aided by tractable model systems, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, we develop a novel S. cerevisiae genetic resource population for high throughput haploid association mapping (HAM) and genome wide association (GWA).

We will use the high quality genome sequences of 96 S. cerevisiae strains to generate a novel genetic resource population that we will use to perform high throughput determination of quantitative trait (QT) and quantitative trait loci (QTL) architecture. Start dates are open. Candidates should have recently received their Ph.D. (0 to – at most – 4 years) and should have expertise in yeast genetics/molecular biology and/or quantitative/population genetics. Candidates should email their curriculum vitae (pdf), including the names and contact information for three references, to John McCusker at mccus001@mc.duke.edu.
