Fun Stuff
Welcome! I am Spencer Muse, Professor of Statistics at North Carolina State University. I graduated from NC State with a BS in Statistics in 1989, then remained at NC State to complete my PhD in Statistics and Genetics in 1993 under the direction of Bruce Weir. I spent the next three years as a postdoc in Andy Clark's lab in the Biology Department at Penn State before taking a faculty position in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of Missouri. I joined the faculty in the Department of Statistics here at NC State in 1998.



Everyone cheers for the Wolfpack in the Muse lab!

Research

My research is primarily in the areas of genetic data analysis, bioinformatics, and molecular evolution, and I am housed in NC State's Bioinformatics Research Center.

My colleagues and I have developed the molecular evolution software HyPhy over the past 15 years.

Graduate Training

I am the co-director of the interdepartmental Genomic Sciences graduate program at NC State, where I co-ordinate the Bioinformatics segment of that program.

I direct the NIH predoctoral training program Biostatistics Training in the Omics Era. The goal of this program is to train PhD students in Statistics who understand the role of genomic data in modern biostatistics research settings.

Teaching

My recent teachng has focused on introductory methodology for undergraduate Statistics majors (ST 305), professional skills for Statistics graduate students (ST 810A), and ethics and professionalism in statistics (ST 810E).
