Job Description:
The Research Lab of Dr. Turk Rhen seeks a highly motivated postdoc. Our overarching goal is to understand mechanisms underlying organism-environment interactions and genotype-environment interactions, which are ubiquitous in nature. Such interactions have implications for problems as diverse as predicting the impact of climate change on individual species and understanding individual differences in susceptibility to environmental causes of disease. Duties & Responsibilities Postdoctoral Fellow in Multi-scale Modeling – This position focuses on development of multi-scale models to link "inside-the-skin" biological systems with "outside-the-skin" environmental factors. The successful candidate will develop multi-scale models that integrate genetic, epigenetic, and gene expression data for temperature-dependent sex determination. Expertise in bioinformatics, computational, and/or mathematical modeling is required. Excellent chance for individuals with quantitative background to enter the life sciences. Minimum Requirements/Qualifications: -Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Math, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or other quantitative field with good programming skills. -Must be able to multi-task and solve problems creatively, with the ability to work independently as well as cooperatively with an interdisciplinary team of biologists, chemists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and physicists. -Excellent oral and written communication skills are required.
Additional Info:
The Department of Biology is an academic unit in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of North Dakota. It serves nearly 600 undergraduate majors, 1000 undergraduate non-majors, and 20 graduate students. In addition to teaching, our faculty members are involved in research programs that address fundamental questions in the biological sciences. Funding to conduct research comes from internal (i.e., UND) as well as external sources (i.e., local, national, and federal grants). The lab currently has 1 year of funding available.

This information will remain confidential and separate from your application. This position is subject to a criminal history record check. In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, the University of North Dakota publishes an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. The report includes the university’s policies, procedures, and programs concerning safety and security, as well as three years’ of crime statistics for our campus. As a prospective employee, you are entitled to a copy of this report. The report and statistical data can be found online at http://und.edu/discover/_files/docs/annual-security-report.pdf . You may also request a paper copy of the report from the UND Police Department located at 3851 Campus Road, Grand Forks, ND, 58202. North Dakota veterans claiming preference must submit all proof of eligibility by the closing date. Proof of eligibility includes a DD-214 and if claiming disabled status, a current letter of disability (less than one year old) from the Veterans’ Administration. Please upload the DD-214 and other veterans’ preference qualifying documentation through the form found at http://und.edu/affirmative-action/apcontrolcard.cfm .[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
