Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Joint Genome Institute Division has an opening for a Computational Biologist Postdoctoral Scholar. You will work as part of the Plant Functional Genomics Group to perform research in plant genomics as part of an ARPA-E funded project to developed advanced breeding methods for sorghum. Techniques used will include genotype by sequence, GWAS and genomic selection. Will store and organize results for presentation and viewing by project team members and the wider scientific community and prepare results for publication in scientific journals. What You Will Do:
Additional Info:
The posting shall remain open until the position is filled, however for full consideration, please apply by close of business on January 10, 2018. Notes: -This is a full time, 1 year and 3 months, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years and 7 months paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree. -Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay. -This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes. -Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates. This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position.
