The ECSO Lab in the Department of Biological Sciences at Purdue University
is looking for a motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher with
an interest in evolutionary biology and systems biology. The position is
for a minimum of 2 years (extendable to 3 years). The proposed project
is funded by the John Templeton Foundation and aims to investigate the
evolutionary trajectory of nascent genes and their energetic costs in
experimentally evolved populations. The ideal candidate should have
prior experience and/or a strong interest in conducting genome and
transcriptome sequencing and analysis, ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq),
and mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Learn more about the lab's
research at: https://www.ecsolab.com.

The applicant should have:

-         a PhD, or is expected to complete a PhD within a year, in
          molecular biology, biochemistry, systems biology, evolutionary
          biology, or a related field,
-         an interest in evolutionary biology and systems biology,
-         an interest in learning/implementing new 'omics techniques,
-         excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and
-         an interest in mentoring students and collaborating with
          other trainees.

The ideal candidate should have some previous experience in:

-         preparing and sequencing Illumina and/or Nanopore sequencing
          libraries, or
-         implementing and optimizing Ribo-Seq or ribosome profiling, or
-         analyzing large-scale genomic data (e.g., entire genomes and
          transcriptomes).

To apply, please submit your CV and a 1-2-page cover letter that
describes your previous research experience, scientific interests,
and how you see yourself contributing to the project and our research
environment. Finalists may be asked for additional materials. Apply here:
