Postdoctoral research positions
Postdoctoral research associate positions are available in Josh Shaevitz’s lab in the Department of Physics and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, Princeton University. These are twelve-month appointments with the possibility of reappointments based on satisfactory performance and continued funding.
Applicants must have a recent Ph.D. in physics, neuroscience, computer science, biology, or related field and have demonstrable expertise in the aforementioned areas.
Applications should be submitted online at http://jobs.princeton.edu/ (Req #1300245). Applications should include a CV that includes a list of publications, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references.
The Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics seeks applicants for postdoctoral or more senior research positions to join any of several interdisciplinary research groups. Subjects include the architecture and dynamics of transcriptional regulatory networks, using technologies such as DNA microarrays, HTP-sequencing, and metabolomics to make genome-wide observations of cellular states in bacteria, yeast, plasmodium, human and animal cells. Computational and mathematical approaches are then employed to analyze such data in order to model the genetic circuitry of these organisms. Appointments are for one year, with possibility for renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding. Applicants should recently have received their Ph.D. They should have training and a significant track record in one of the following areas:
1. genomics.
2. bacterial/yeast/animal cell molecular biology and genetics.
3. experimental chemistry or theoretical physics.
4. computational biology or biophysics.
5. computer science or statistics (applications relevant to genomics).
6. population genetics or molecular evolution.
Facility with computers is essential and knowledge of programming is highly desirable.
Applications should be submitted online at http://jobs.princeton.edu using Req# 1200172. Applications should include a curriculum vitae that includes a list of publications, a brief statement (3 pages) of research interests and goals and the names and contact information for three references.
