The Messer Lab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher

Our group studies the population genetics of rapid evolution using mathematical models, computer simulations, and genomic data from both natural and laboratory populations. Our overarching goal is to develop models that more accurately capture the dynamics of rapid evolutionary processes. Building on these models, we create new statistical and computational tools to study rapid evolution through a quantitative lens and better predict its outcomes.

If you are interested in working with us, please contact Prof. Philipp Messer at messer@cornell.edu. Please include a CV and a brief statement of research background and interests. For interested graduate students, we are currently a member of the Cornell graduate fields of Computational Biology (CB), Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB), Computational Biology and Medicine (CBM), and Genetics, Genomics and Development (GGD).
