Job Description:
critical thinker to address research projects related to the evolution
of apicomplexan parasites e.g. Plasmodium (the causative agent of
malaria), Toxoplasma and Cryptosporidium). The position is at the
post-doctoral level. Our research group is located at the University
of Georgia in Athens, GA (about 60 miles outside of Atlanta). There is
some flexibility associated with this position but it is expected to
focus primarily on aspects of comparative genomics including population
genomics, genome architecture evolution and/or the evolution of gene
regulatory networks across the phylum. The group website including
a listing of research interests and publications can be found at:
http://mango.ctegd.uga.edu/jkissingLab/
The research group is composed of three sub-groups: staff
who work on the NIH-funded Bioinformatics Resource Center
EuPathDB http://eupathdb.org/eupathdb/ ; staff who work on
the NIH-funded Malaria Host-Pathogen Interaction Center, MaHPIC
http://www.systemsbiology.emory.edu/ ; and students from the Institute
of Bioinformatics and Department of Genetics working on aspects of
apicomplexan genomics. Our Research Group maintains a collaborative and
supportive working environment in which we mentor and train each other.
An ability to work as a part of a group and mentor others is essential.

The position is available immediately.
Qualifications: A Ph.D. in a computational or biological science. An
ability to program in some language (PERL, Python and/or JAVA) is
required; Experience with ¡Omics-scale analyses on some sort of
genomic or functional data and an interest in molecular evolution
are required. Familiarity with LINUX and R is strongly encouraged.
Experience with molecular and genomic methodologies (wet lab) is a plus.
Salary: Commensurate with qualifications and not less than NIH guidelines.
