I’ll looking to hire a post-doc with genomics experience to study the role of mitochondria in the tradeoff between reproduction and longevity. We work with house mice (wild- derived) kept in a lab animal facility and in semi-natural populations. We are adept at functional mitochondrial measurements and I would like to bring in someone with genomics skills so we can evaluate the impact of mtDNA mutations on mitochondria function. Please forward the ad below to anyone who would be appropriate. Thanks Wendy Hood Auburn University Department of Biological Sciences Auburn, AL 36849 334-844-7437 [email protected] Postdoctoral Fellow in Evolutionary Physiology at Auburn University The Hood lab at Auburn University is looking to hire a post-doctoral scholar to evaluate the role of mitochondria in tradeoffs between reproduction and longevity in the house mouse. A focus of the project will be to evaluate mtDNA mutation rates using high throughput sequencing approaches. A strong background in genomics and evolutionary physiology and excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills are required. The individual will be expected to assist with training and mentoring graduate students and undergraduates, develop synergistic projects, write grants, and produce first authored papers and contribute to co-authored papers.
