Faculty Position in Evolutionary Genomics and Molecular Evolution
Josephine Bay Paul Center for Comparative Molecular Biology and Evolution,
Marine Biological Laboratory
The Josephine Bay Paul Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) invites applications for a faculty position at the Assistant Scientist level in the area of evolutionary and functional genomics. The successful candidate will apply experimental and computational approaches to research areas including but not limited to: microbiome interactions, functional studies of host-associated marine microbial communities, evolutionary and ecological changes in marine systems, or genomic and transcriptomic studies of marine organisms.
The Bay Paul Center and the MBL have strengths in molecular evolution, functional genomics, microbial diversity and ecology, advanced imaging, and marine animal husbandry. The Center maintains state-of-the-art facilities for high-throughput sequencing and computational analysis. The MBL, an affiliate of the University of Chicago, has a distinguished history in fundamental biological discovery, now with a renewed focus on marine organisms, microbiomes, and the impact of environmental change on coastal ecosystems.
Qualifications:
