The Alvarez-Ponce lab at the University of Nevada, Reno, is accepting applications for Ph.D. students with a strong interest in bioinformatics and molecular evolution. Research areas in the lab include comparative genomics, the evolution of molecular pathways and networks (e.g., protein-protein interaction networks, metabolic pathways/networks, signal transduction pathways/networks, etc.), and the organisms’ genomic adaptation to different temperatures.
Informal applications should be addressed to Dr. David Alvarez-Ponce ([email protected]) as a single PDF, including:
An application letter, addressing the applicant’s motivation for the position, and how her/his experience and skills fulfill the requirements listed above.
A full CV.
Contact information for 3 potential referees.
The University of Nevada, Reno offers an interactive and productive research environment, including outstanding core facilities in genomics and bioinformatics. The Biology Department has a growing and highly interactive evolutionary genomics research community. Reno is located in the Sierra Nevada mountains, near Lake Tahoe, and has been recently rated one of the best small cities in the US for outdoor recreation and overall quality of life.
