Postdoctoral Position in Polyploidy and Epigenetics at The University
of Texas at Austin
A postdoctoral fellow position is available immediately to study
genetic and epigenetic mechanisms for non-additive gene regulation in
Arabidopsis allopolyploids that are derived from closely related
progenitors A. thaliana and A. arenosa
(http://polyploidy.biosci.utexas.edu).
Successful candidates should have a Ph.D. in Genetics, Plant Biology,
Biochemistry and/or Computational Biology with a solid training in
Mendelian genetics and molecular genetics. Demonstrated interest in
epigenetic regulation of gene expression will likely be helpful, as
will technical skills in DNA sequence analysis, RNA detection,
protein assays, microRNAs, microarrays, computational analysis of
microarray and new generation sequence data. Salary is competitive
with experience.
The Chen lab is located in the Section of Molecular Cell and
Developmental Biology (MCDB) (http://www.biosci.utexas.edu/MCDB/) and
the Institute for Cellular and Molecular Biology
(http://www.icmb.utexas.edu/). There will be excellent opportunities
for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students to interact with
faculty and students among dynamic research groups in the MCDB, ICMB,
Integrative Biology (http://www.biosci.utexas.edu/IB/), and the
Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
(http://ccbb.biosci.utexas.edu/)
