Job description

Applications are invited for a full-time postdoctoral position in primate comparative genomics. We are seeking a qualified individual to join our research into the evolution of sensory systems in humans, non-human primates, and other mammals with phylogenetic or functional relevance to primate origins. The successful applicant will examine patterns of selection acting on sensory genes - especially olfactory receptor genes - in relation to ecological variation (diet, habitat, activity pattern) and phylogenetic history. Our approach is multifaceted, combining laboratory and field-based work with computational biology. Individuals with skills and experience relevant to bioinformatic analysis are especially encouraged to apply. This is a 12-month appointment, beginning September 1, 2014, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

  • Candidates must have a PhD in hand at the time of appointment. Interested applicants should send a CV, a list of three referees, and a letter of application stating research interests, a detailed summary of relevant skills and expertise, and career goals by email to the PI, Amanda Melin - [email protected].
  • Please use the subject heading “Primate Comparative Genomics Postdoc.” Review of applications will commence on March 15, 2014 and will continue until the position is filled.
  • Washington University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
  • Applications from women and other members of under-represented groups are especially encouraged.
