A postdoctoral scholar position is available in the Tarvin Lab in the Department of Integrative Biology and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. The project focuses on the genetic and physiological basis of kleptocnidy in nudibranch mollusks, a striking biological process in which these animals steal and store microscopic stinging structures (nematocysts) from their prey. The postdoc will work in a collaborative research environment that connects Berkeley’s...

The Cornille laboratory in the Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a postdoctoral associate. The successful applicant will conduct population epigenomics analyses on plants. The main foci of these analyses will be

  • The identification of genes and epigenomic features that have evolved adaptively or play in the response to stress
  • The evolution of transposable elements in a population (epi)genomics context.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to develop an autonomous line of research related to the interests of the lab in evolutionary genomics. Motivated applicants with a strong background in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics and interested in leading cross-disciplinary research are encouraged to apply.

Successful candidates must hold a Ph.D. Degree In Biology. Significant experience in one or more of the following is strongly desired:

  • Population genomic and epigenomics

· Conduct a set of techniques in molecular biology by adapting the experimental conditions (apply health and safety rules, extract and sequence DNA and RNA);

· Run statistical and bioinformatic analyses

  • Transposable Elements Biology
  • Excellent communication skills in English
  • The ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and scientific creativity are essential

For consideration, applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests, and three letters of reference, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Dr. Amandine Cornille at [email protected] .
