Postdoctoral Research Scholar Molecular Population Genomics/Ecology
Location: Marine Genomics Laboratory - A new,
collaborative, state-of-the-art facility
established for population genomic studies of
marine organisms, located in the Harte Research
Institute at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi, Texas 78412.
Responsibilities: Position responsibilities
involve development and assay of nuclear-encoded
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),
microsatellites, and mitochondrial DNA sequences
for projects involving population genomics and
molecular ecology, primarily of marine
fishes. Central responsibilities include data
acquisition and analysis, and preparation of reports and publications.
Qualifications: Dissertation or postdoctoral
work in molecular population genetics and/or
molecular ecology is required, as is documented
experience with microsatellite and mtDNA data
acquisition and analysis. Documented experience
with major software programs (e.g., Arlequin,
Genepop, Migrate, LdNe, etc.) also is
required. Individuals with documented experience
in analysis of next-generation-sequencing data,
primarily RAD-seq and genome assembly, will be
given highest priority. Applicants should be
ambitious, able to work collaboratively with
other group members, and capable of taking
initiative and assuming responsibility.
Salary: Salary range is from $42,500/year and
will depend on experience. Benefits include
health care and retirement. Position is for 12-24 months.
Closing date: Position will remain open until filled.
Contact: Send curriculum vitae, description of
research experience/interests, and names,
addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail address of
three references to Dr. David S. Portnoy at
[email protected]. International
applicants will be considered if they hold the
correct visa(s). The Harte Research Institute
and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi are Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employers.
