Postdoctoral Position in Comparative Genomics and Microbial Evolution at Dartmouth College
A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the lab of Olga Zhaxybayeva at the Biological Sciences Department of Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. Zhaxybayeva’s lab uses computational approaches to study how microbes evolve and adapt to their environments. Ongoing projects fall into the following broad areas: 1) studying impact of horizontal gene transfer on microbial populations; 2) characterization of microbial communities; and 3) deciphering genomic signatures of microbial adaptations. More information about Zhaxybayeva’s lab is available at http://www.dartmouth.edu/~ecglab/.
Qualified applicants must have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, biology, microbiology, computer science, statistics or a related field with
background and strong interest in molecular evolution. Some prior scripting or programming experience is required.
The successful candidate should anticipate contributing to a variety of ongoing collaborative research projects with teams across the U.S. and Canada. The incumbent will also have the opportunity to establish his/her own independent projects. In addition to becoming a part of a vibrant research and educational environment, the successful candidate can also take advantage of professional development programs offered by Dartmouth College’s Postdoctoral Association.
