| Postdoctoral Position in Polyploidy and Epigenetics at The
University of Texas at Austin
A postdoctoral fellow position is available immediately in the Section
of Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology. The candidate will 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).
A successful candidate 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/) The University of Texas at Austin (http://www.utexas.edu) is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Highly motivated individuals should send a brief statement of
career goals and a copy of curriculum vitae including names and
addresses of three references to:
