POSITION DESCRIPTION: Postdoctoral position in systems biology and
aging in Drosophila The Promislow lab has moved to Tufts University in
Boston, and we have a postdoctoral position is available immediately
(with flexible start date). We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher
to join a collaborative effort to understand the causes and consequences
of natural variation in aging in Drosophila.

We use systems biology approaches (specifically metabolomics and
transcriptomics) to probe natural variation in age-related traits
in Drosophila. Funded projects provide opportunities to pursue questions
in social behavior, aging, genetics, multivariate and machine learning
statistical approaches, the evolution of resilience, and sex differences
in aging.

We are seeking someone with a PhD and expertise in aging, evolutionary
genetics, Drosophila, statistical modeling, and/or systems biology. The
ability to work extremely well with a team is essential.

RESPONSIBILITIES
The postdoctoral researcher will:
- Design and carry out fly experiments under the supervision of
  Dr. Promislow
- Analyze, write up and publish findings
- Contribute to regular lab meetings and one-on-one discussions about
  project design and progress

REQUIREMENTS
-Practical understanding of the biology of aging.
- Comfort with multivariate statistics.
- Excellent mentoring skills and desire to work with undergraduates

Interested candidates should send an email with CV, a brief statement
of research experience and interests, and names of three referees to
Daniel Promislow at daniel.promislow@tufts.edu no later than Nov 30, 2024.
