Postdoc in Evolutionary Genomics and Transcriptomics
A full-time NSF-funded postdoctoral position is available the labs of Matthew Hahn and Leonie Moyle in the Department of Biology. The work will examine the evolution of reproductive proteins among wild tomato species using genomic and transcriptomic approaches. As part of a larger multi-institution collaboration on pre-zygotic barriers in tomatoes, genomic work will be complemented by genetic, molecular, cellular, and developmental work on any candidate genes identified.
The labs combine experience in the genetics of reproductive isolation with work on the statistical and computational tools needed to analyze genomic and transcriptomic data. The project will involve the collection and analysis of large next-generation sequencing datasets. The postdoctoral candidate will also be encouraged to develop new projects in this system. Past and ongoing research projects in the labs may be found on Matt's and Leonie's faculty research pages.
We seek a collegial, self-motivated, and intellectually curious individual who will help us answer interesting biological questions. PhD in population genetics, statistical genetics, computational biology, phylogenetics or related field required. Excellent oral and written communication skills. Programming skills and experience with NGS data preferred. Salary commensurate with experience, full benefits included.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae and the names and contact information for two references to Dee Verostko at dverostk@indiana.edu with “Hahn postdoc” in the subject line or send to 1001 E. Third Street, Bloomington, IN 47405. Applications submitted by February 24, 2012 will be given full consideration. June 1, 2012 start date possible.
