Postdoctoral Fellow in Evolutionary Epigenomics The Lee lab at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a motivated postdoctoral fellow to study how transposable elements shape genome function and evolution through epigenetic mechanisms. Toward this end, we combine population genomics, functional genomics, computational biology, and cell biology. The postdoctoral fellow will focus on the epigenetic impacts of transposable elements, and how the associated functional consequences contribute to genome evolution. Candidates will ideally have interests relevant to these topics, and will have opportunities to pursue their own research interests in evolutionary genetics/epigenetics. The lab is committed to individual mentoring and will provide opportunities for career and skill development. We will also provide resources for attending scientific seminars and conferences. Our lab is part of the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (https://ecoevo.bio.uci.edu/), the Center for Evolutionary Genetics (https://evogen.bio.uci.edu/), and the Center for Complex Biological Systems (https://ccbs.uci.edu/), which is a vibrant multi-disciplinary center. More information about our research interests can be found at http://grylee.science/ The successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in the following or related fields: evolutionary genetics, genetics, genomics, epigenetics, cell biology, bioinformatics, or computational biology. We are currently looking for candidates who either (1) have extensive experience with -omics data and strong quantitative skills or (2) have extensive experience with epigenomics/cell biology. Good organizational and writing skills are also required. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who have recently completed, or will soon complete, their Ph.D. and members of communities underrepresented in biology. The position is NIH-funded and has full benefits. Salary will depend on candidate�s experience. The start date is flexible and can be as early as July 2024. The next review date is March 31st, 2024. The position will remain open until filled. To apply, please use the following link to upload the required information https://recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF08783: curriculum vitae, including a full list of publications. Pre-print articles can be included. a short (one-page maximum) statement describing candidates� past research experience, why you want to join us, future research interests, and you as a person contact information for three references� Please contact Grace Lee (grylee@uci.edu) for any questions.
