Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Research Scientist, Genetics / Genomics
The Kukekova Lab at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Canine Behavior Genetics. We seek a highly motivated and collaborative individual with strong background in bioinformatics to join a project focused on the genetic analysis of neuroanatomical and behavioral phenotypes in dogs with a particular focus on service dogs.
The position provides opportunities for interdisciplinary training in genomics, neurobiology, and animal behavior through collaborations with the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology and external partners.
This is a one‑year position, expected to begin in fall 2026, with possibility of renewal dependent upon adequate funding and satisfactory performance. The postdoctoral position will be funded through a 4‑year grant from Mae Philanthropies.
A doctoral degree is required for this position. Desired qualifications include experience in mammalian genomics, coding, the whole genome sequence analysis, and genome wide association studies.
