Path 2: Post-Doctoral Associate in the Division of Science [Biology] – Population epigenomics

The Cornille laboratory in the Division of Scienceat New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a postdoctoral associate. The successful applicant will conduct population epigenomics analyses on plants. The main foci of these analyses will be:

• The identification of genes and epigenomic features that have evolved adaptively or play a role in the response to stress
• The evolution of transposable elements in a population (epi)genomics context.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to develop an autonomous line of research related to the interests of the lab in evolutionary genomics. Motivated applicants with a strong background in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics and interested in leading cross-disciplinary research are encouraged to apply.

Successful candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Biology. Significant experience in one or more of the following is strongly desired:
