Andrew G. Clark (born 1954) is an American population geneticist. He is currently Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Population Genetics in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics and a Nancy and Peter Meinig Family Investigator at Cornell University.[1] [2] He is the current head of the Graduate Computation Biology field.[3] He is also co-director of Cornell's Center for Comparative and Population Genomics and a member of a working group for the National Human Genome Research Institute.[4]
Clark received a Bachelor of Science from Brown University in 1976, followed by a Ph.D. in population genetics from Stanford University in 1980.[2] He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Arizona State University and the University of Aarhus, before joining the faculty of Penn State University's Department of Biology.[2] Since 2002, he has been a professor at Cornell University.
He was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1994, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2012. Clark's laboratory group researches genetic variation and adaptation using both human data and the laboratory model Drosophila melanogaster.
