A
NSF-funded postdoctoral scholar position is available in the laboratory
of Dr.
Donovan P. German at University of California, Irvine. Research in the
German
lab is aimed at understanding the energy and nutrient acquisition
strategies of
organisms ranging from microbes to vertebrates (fishes in particular).
The
postdoctoral researcher will start by sequencing the genomes of two
fish
species, and examining the transcriptomes of these same species, plus
six
others. Successful candidates will
collaborate with a dynamic team of biochemists, physiologists,
evolutionary
biologists, and ecologists at UC Irvine and other institutions. Required
qualifications include a recent Ph.D. (earned in 2010 or later) in
molecular
biology, biochemistry, or related fields. Desirable qualifications
include
experience with Next Generation molecular techniques at the bench and
in
bioinformatics, a strong publication record, excellent writing and
communication
skills, and a willingness to do field work (mainly to collect organisms
for
study). Duration
of position is dependent upon performance (annual appointments, with
potential
for renewal) and salary will be commensurate with experience.
Applications submitted by November
15, 2014, will be given full consideration, although
applications will be reviewed until the position is filled.
