Path Post-Doctoral Associate Division of Science Biology – Population epigenomics

Responsibilities

The Cornille laboratory in the Division of Scienceat 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 a role 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. 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 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
