Jaehee Kim's research interests are in the general fields of population-genetic dynamical systems, statistical genetics, and mathematical phylogenetics. She also applies mechanistic understanding of population genetics and evolutionary biology to solve important questions in mathematical epidemiology and forensic genetics.

I joined the Cornell faculty in 1978 as a member of the Biometrics Unit in the Department of Plant Breeding and Biometry; this became the Department of Biometrics, and subsequently the Department of Biological Statistics and Computational Biology. I am also a faculty member in the Department of Statistical Science. I was the Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Biometry and Statistics program from 1991 to 2009. I retired from active faculty status in December 2011.
