Postdoc (Evolutionary Biology)
A postdoctoral fellow *position* is available in the laboratory of Katharina Dittmar De La Cruz at the Department of Biological Sciences, SUNY Buffalo, NY (http://www.wyomingb ioinformatics. org/~kdittmar/). The *post*-*doc* should have a keen INTEREST IN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, and some experience in molecular biology (e.g., in situ hybridization, RT-PCR, protein expression).
Previous exposure to phylogenetics and/or genomics is advantageous. The candidate will work on protein coding sequences that appear to be undergoing adaptive evolution/ changes of function in specific parasitic groups (e.g. Siphonaptera, Streblidae, Nycteribiidae) and study them from a computational and experimental perspective (see my website for details).
The *post*-*doc* IS ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGED to pursue own ideas and projects.
Available Lab Resources include:
1. A PCR wet lab combined with molecular biology facilities.
2. Ample computational resources (e.g., Individual Lab Cluster)
Additional Facilities that are availabe include:
1. The The CCR (Center for Computational Research);
2. A computer visualization lab;
3. The LMVA (Laboratory for Molecular Visualization and Analysis).
The desired starting date is November 1, 2007. The *position* is for two years with
possible extension. Salary will start at $36.000 - $38.000 plus benefits, depending on experience. Participation in international field work (e.g., India, Europe, Puerto Rico, Brazil) is possible if desired. Qualified women are especially encouraged to apply. Non-US based applicants are also encouraged to apply, and will receive assistance with VISUM requirements. However, English communication skills are a MUST!
Qualified applicants should submit a CV and contact information of three references to Katharina Dittmar De La Cruz @ katharinad@gmail. com
