Post-doctoral position in phylogenomics
Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, West Boothbay Harbor, Maine

A full-time post-doctoral position is available in the lab of Dr. Hwan Su Yoon at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in West Boothbay Harbor, Maine. This position involves participation in an NSF-funded project, “RedToL: Phylogenetic and Genomic Approaches to Reconstructing the Red Algal (Rhodophyta) Tree of Life” to study phylogenetic relationships of red algae using multi-gene dataset, and plastid genomes and transcriptome sequence data. Therefore, a post-doc with a strong background in evolutionary genomics, molecular evolution, bioinformatics, or genome analysis is requested. Primary duties include plastid DNA isolation, EST library construction, phylogenomics and bioinformatics analysis. Candidate with a Ph.D. degree in evolutionary genomics, computational biology or a relevant field is required. Experience with next generation sequence analysis (454, Illumina, or SOLiD) is desirable. Funding is available for three years.
