Postdoctoral Research Associate and Ph.D. position in Evolutionary Genomics
Claudio Casola lab – Saint Louis University
Current research interests in the lab include gene duplication and gene deletion in eukaryotes, comparative and population genomics of allelic and interlocus gene conversion, and the origin of genomic novelties from transposable elements. More details on active projects in the lab are available online at sites.google.com/a/slu.edu/ccasola.
1) Postdoc position
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in computational biology, evolutionary genetics/genomics, molecular evolution or a related field. Experience in comparative genome-wide analyses, next-gen sequencing data, and bioinformatic programming are preferred. Programming skills in either perl, python, or other languages suitable for bioinformatic analyses are required. This is a one-year position renewable depending on performance and external funding. The postdoc will have flexibility to work on projects in my lab that are of interest and will be expected to present and publish results. A starting salary will be commensurate with experience and benefits are included. The position is open immediately and the start date is negotiable.
