About this position

The Schultz Lab at Lehigh University is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to lead computational or hybrid wet-lab/computational research at the interface of genomics and evolution. The position centers on understanding the animal tree of life through comparative approaches that connect genome evolution, cell-type evolution, and phylogenomics.

The successful researcher will contribute to projects spanning early animal evolution, deep-sea adaptations, methodological development for cross-species analyses, marine biochemistry, and phylogenomics. The role offers flexibility to pursue work that matches the candidate’s expertise, with potential emphasis on genome assembly and annotation, phylogenetic inference, single-cell and multi-omics approaches, microscopy, and biochemical experimentation.

This is an opportunity to join an interdisciplinary environment that combines genomics, bioinformatics, cellular and molecular biology, and experimental science. The lab’s research includes studies of marine invertebrates, bioluminescence, and chromosome-scale evolutionary questions, with work that may involve field collection of marine organisms and collaborations across computational and experimental directions.

The post is based at Lehigh University and is designed for a scientist who can lead independent and collaborative projects, contribute manuscripts for publication, and participate in a vibrant research setting with opportunities for professional growth.

Funding details

Full-time postdoctoral appointment with anticipated salary of $62,232, competitive compensation, and benefits; renewal possible based on performance and funding availability.

What's required

Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Biological Sciences, or a closely related field completed by the start of the appointment. The ideal candidate will have strong skills in molecular biology, programming/bioinformatics, scientific writing, DNA/RNA sequencing, and cross-species comparative biology. Demonstrated research experience and a track record of publication in reputable scientific journals are required, along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, proven ability to work independently and in a collaborative team, and a commitment to fostering an inclusive research and teaching environment. Helpful but not required skills include FACS, fieldwork, protein purification, fluorescence and expansion microscopy, rearing animals in aquaria, invertebrate transgenics, scuba diving certification, and research cruise operations.
