Company : University of North Dakota Country : Role : Postdoc
The Rhen Lab in the University of North Dakota Biology Department seeks two highly motivated postdocs. 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.
Postdoctoral Fellow in Epigenomics – This position focuses on epigenetic regulation of genes required for testis and ovary development in a species with temperature-dependent sex determination. The successful candidate will conduct and analyze ChIP-qPCR and ChIP-Seq studies. Proficiency with standard bioinformatics methods is required. Prior experience with genome assembly, annotation, or genome-wide ChIP analysis is preferred. Excellent opportunity for individuals with bioinformatics training to expand their understanding of biology and develop practical expertise with wet lab techniques.
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 with data on the spatial and temporal pattern of variation in temperature across North America. Expertise in computational and/or mathematical modeling is required. Familiarity with multi-scale modeling is preferred. Excellent chance for individuals with quantitative background to enter the life sciences.
