The Animal Genomics and Improvement Laboratory, Agricultural Research
Service, USDA, announces 2 additional postdoctoral research position
openings in Beltsville, MD.
Details on the positions, qualification requirements, and application
information can be found using the links listed below.
Research Geneticist (Postdoctoral Research Associate)
https://www.ars.usda.gov/...es/Postdoc
Research Geneticist Vacancy Announcement.pdf
GS-11/12, $68,036–$88,450/year, 2 years full-time but may be extended
up to 4 years (open until position is filled)
Research will focus on:
• Developing improved sequence data processing programs to identify
causal mutations to replace the linked markers currently used in
genomic prediction.
• Analyzing sequence genotypes from a global exchange of whole genome
data (1000 Bull Genomes Project) to estimate effects of DNA variants
on more than 30 dairy cattle traits.
• Assisting with implementing and conducting research projects
related to animal genomics and improvement.
• Cooperating in international cattle sequencing research.
Major duties may include but are not limited to design and testing of
new tools to include information from DNA sequence data more
efficiently in genomic predictions of dairy cattle traits.
Research Computational Biologist (Postdoctoral Research Associate)
https://www.ars.usda.gov/...es/Postdoc
Research Computational Biologist Vacancy Announcement.pdf
GS-11/12, $68,036–$88,450/year, 2 years full-time but may be extended
up to 4 years (open until position is filled)
Research will focus on:
• Collecting and analyzing bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC)
data, estimating heritability, and developing traditional genetic and
genomic evaluations for disease resistance.
• Using predictions of disease incidence from an independent project
funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to
evaluate usefulness of genetic evaluations for Holsteins.
Major duties may include but are not limited to:
• Developing predicted transmitting abilities for resistance to BRDC
from various data sources and using results to better understand
genetic architecture of BRDC host resistance and susceptibility.
• Developing tools for automation of data processing required for use
of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in livestock selection programs.
• Identifying signatures of selection using next generation
sequencing reads and genotypic data in livestock.
