Opportunity: Postdoc -- Genome Structure evolution @ UNC Charlotte -- Charlotte, NC (US)
Submitted by Lauren Slane; posted on Thursday, January 19, 2017
BACKGROUND
The Rogers lab at UNC Charlotte is hiring a postdoc to work on evolutionary genetics of genome structure. The lab is interested in duplications and chromosomal rearrangements, their role in creating new gene sequences, and the ways that selection acts on new genetic material. We will survey genome structure changes in a variety of organisms including Drosophila and humans to determine the importance of these mutations in evolution.
REQUIREMENTS
The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of genetics, statistics, and bioinformatics. Experience working with Illumina short read sequencing and PacBio long molecule sequencing will be advantageous. Experience working with Drosophila will be beneficial. Applicants should have working familiarity with at least one programming language, with a strong preference for Python. Molecular biologists who wish to learn bioinformatics or quantitative scientists interested in genetics are encouraged to contact the PI and discuss their research interests.
COMPENSATION
Minimum salary will follow NIH recommendations.
LOCALE
Charlotte, NC is a diverse city with an excellent symphony, theater, and performing arts scene. Charlotte also offers a thriving arts scene and live music in NoDa, excellent restaurants surrounding the Downtown, and family-friendly programs in local museums. The cost of living is very affordable, offering a comfortable lifestyle for postdocs.
HOW TO APPLY
Applications should include a CV, a brief summary of research interests, proposal for how their work will fit with the lab, and three references to be contacted on request. Materials can be emailed to Rebekah.Rogers[at]uncc.edu.
DEADLINE
Applications received by March 31st will be given full consideration. Later applications will be considered if the position remains available.
START DATE
Target start date is July 2017. Some flexibility exists, depending on circumstances.
POLICY
The Rogers lab supports diversity in science. We are committed to a positive working environment for LGBTQ individuals, underrepresented minorities, and women in science.
