About this position
Postdoctoral Associate opportunity at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science in Miami, Florida, United States. The position is in the laboratory of Dr. Danielle McDonald and focuses on gene manipulation, functional genetics, and comparative biology in non-traditional marine model systems.
The project includes developing and optimizing genetic tools in marine animals, specifically establishing a transgenic protocol in Aplysia californica and developing a morpholino-based gene knockdown protocol in Gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta). This is a strong fit for candidates with training in molecular biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, physiology, and method development for aquatic or marine model organisms.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in a relevant field is required. Applicants should be able to independently design and troubleshoot experimental protocols and have experience with transgenesis, gene knockdown, and microinjection. Experience with aquatic model systems is highly desirable.
Funding: full-time appointment with competitive salary and benefits. The initial term is one year, with renewal contingent on performance and funding.
How to apply: submit a CV, cover letter, and contact information for three references via the Workday application link. Review of applications begins immediately and continues until the position is filled.
