We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow with experience in programming, statistics, and/or genetics to help us develop methods to elucidate the genetic architecture of complex traits using genome-wide data. This NIH funded work is being conducted at the Institute for Behavioral Genetics (IBG), University of Colorado, Boulder (PI Matthew Keller)...

IBG post-doc Luke Evans is first author on a paper in Nature Genetics which provides a comprehensive summary of different methods of computing narrow sense heritability from SNP data.

IBG post-doc Luke Evans is first author on a paper in Heredity which discusses using GREML-IBD to get a (possibly) unbiased estimate of narrow-sense heritability in unrelated individuals.

Recent IBG graduate Sam Dolzani has published an article showing that low doses of ketamine impart resilience to future stressors in female rats. Previous research has only demonstrated this effect in male rats.

IBG faculty fellow James Sikela and Veronica Searles Quick have published a paper in Human Genetics which investigates the hypothesis that the same genes which gave rise to human's exceptional cognitive capacity also have a downside. They show evidence that the Olduvai protein domain family is involved in this trade-off.
