Keles Research Group

Announcements:

Several Research Assistant and Postdoctoral Associate Positions (posted on 12/31/12):

Our group has openings for several RA and postdoctoral associate positions. The general theme of the projects is developing statistical and computational methods for data from next generation sequencing technologies.

For Postdoctoral Associate positions: send CV, letter of intent, and three references to keles@stat.wisc.edu.

For RA positions:

If you are already a Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics or Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, just send me an email with your CV, a brief paragraph explaining your research interests, and names of 2 professors that I can talk to about you.

If you are NOT already a Ph.D. student in the Department of Statistics or Biostatistics and Medical Informatics, apply and get admitted to our graduate program first.
