Description Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Vaishali Katju in the Department of Biology at the University of New Mexico. Our lab employs molecular and bioinformatic tools to study evolutionary processes at the level of genomes and populations (both experimental and natural). Presently we are analyzing genetic changes during experimental evolution in C. elegans as well as copy number variants in natural populations of C. elegans. The project details are flexible, but will focus on analyses of whole-genome sequences of natural and experimental C. elegans populations in order to characterize the ensuing molecular changes (including structural variants) and their role in shaping genome evolution. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in computational biology, molecular evolution, population genetics and statistics. Familiarity with experimental use of C. elegans, analysis of high-throughput sequencing data or quantitative/statistical genetics is a plus. Application Instructions Email your application to vkatju@unm.edu as a single pdf file containing your CV with publications, contact details of 3-5 referees, a letter describing your research interests and why you would be an exceptional candidate.   Salary A competitive salary commensurate with experience and full benefits is guaranteed for one year with subsequent years renewable depending on performance. Environment The Department of Biology at UNM is located in Castetter Hall on the main campus, which includes modern lab and computational facilities. The Department has an exceptionally strong concentration in ecology and evolutionary research. Our research team also benefits from a close collaboration with Dr. Ulfar Bergthorsson, an evolutionary geneticist at UNM, and access to next-generation sequencing and microarray facilities through Dr. Don Moerman, Professor and Director of the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia and Dr. Robert Waterston, Professor and Chair of the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington. mailto:vkatju@unm.edushapeimage_5_link_0
