The Babonis Lab in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at
Cornell University seeks to hire a highly motivated Research Associate
to work on the evolution of novelty in marine invertebrates.

This position requires an experienced scientist to use a broad range
of cellular, molecular, and functional genomic techniques in a wide
array of marine invertebrate species to interrogate the evolution and
development of novel traits. The successful candidate will be expected
to develop protocols for using multiple 'omic techniques (single
cell transcriptomics, proteomics, etc) and optimize new techniques for
manipulating gene function in non-model organisms at different life
stages. This position will also require the development and maintenance
of transgenic animals that will be used to examine the evolution of cell
identity within and across species.

To qualify, applicants must have a Ph.D. and at least three years
of demonstrated expertise in molecular biology, transgenesis, genome
editing, and protein biochemistry as well as aquatic invertebrate animal
husbandry. The ideal candidate will also have significant experience with:
genome-wide DNA and RNA sequencing and analysis techniques, marine animal
husbandry, and embryological manipulations.

Applications are due 15 Dec 2024. For more details and to apply,
