Postdoctoral Positions in Plant Evolutionary Genomics The Purugganan laboratory at New York University is looking for postdoctoral research scientists in evolutionary functional genomics and population genomics of crop domestication, with a focus on rice. The work will largely involve computational analysis of large-scale DNA and RNA sequencing data and environmental analysis to study the evolution of crops and its adaptation to local environments. The position is based in the NYU Center for Genomics and Systems Biology, in downtown Manhattan and will be part of a thriving research community that includes colleagues working on a broad range of topics. The annual salary range for this position starts at $70,000 and includes benefits. The ideal candidate will hold a PhD, have a very strong interest in questions in plant evolutionary biology, and have prior research experience using computational approaches, and a track record of peer-reviewed publications. Candidates should have a strong record of research productivity, able to work semi-independently, and are interested in working across large-scale genome data sets and computational analyses. It may also be possible that the postdoc will be involved in acquiring data in wet lab work as needed.
