Postdoctoral Position in Evolution of Vertebrate Sex Determination Mechanisms We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher who has interest and expertise in genome and sex chromosome evolution, gonad development and single-cell RNA-seq analyses. The aim of the project is to address how the hierarchy of sex determining cascades evolve across vertebrates, with a single-cell resolution. We have been collecting developing gonads of both sexes of various vertebrates in order to address this fundamental question, and look forward to your participation. The candidate is expected to lead the project, including data collection and analyses, and interacting with the PI and other members of the lab to coordinate the project. The initial contract is for 2 years, and can be renewed for another 3 years. The yearly salary is between 300,000 to 400,000 RMB (41k to 55k USD) depending on the candidate's qualifications. The candidate receives benefits of campus housing/dining compensation and can apply for research grants from National Natural Science Foundation of China. The lab (qizhoulab.org) has been studying evolution of sex chromosomes and sex determination since it was established in 2015.It is affiliated with the newly established Center for Evolutionary & Organismal Biology at Zhejiang University (https://evolution.zju.edu.cn/en/index.html), which provides a vibrant research environment. The university is 3 hours' drive away from Shanghai International Airport, and is located at Hangzhou, one of the most developed cities in China, that still enjoys the UNESCO World Heritage site, the West Lake (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1334/) in the city center dated to the 9th century.
