🚀 Join Our Lab – Where Big Ideas Meet Cool Science!
We're always on the lookout for bright, motivated students—at any stage—who love exploring ideas and aren't afraid to chase down opportunities to fund and grow their own research.
If you're into data science and quantitative genetics, we've got tons of rich datasets waiting to be explored. If you're more into biotech and molecular biology, our lab is packed with tools to dig into the fascinating links between genetic variation and adaptive traits.
We love projects that combine cutting-edge tech with real biological discovery. Sure, machine learning models and marker-trait associations are exciting—but we're all about going deeper to uncover the real mechanisms behind the patterns. Think Mendel 2.0: let’s make sure those associations hold up under genetic scrutiny!
Candidates who are interested and wish to chase down funding opportunities with us (eg BARD, BSF, Fulbright, other) please send your resume to [email protected]
