Job Description
A Postdoctoral position at the University of Nevada, Reno, Department of Biology is available immediately to study the mechanism of coordinated alternative splicing and alternative polyadenylation in the lab of Dr. Pedro Miura. Our NIH funded lab uses Drosophila, mice, and cultured cells to investigate the function and regulation of alternative 3’ UTRs and circular RNAs in the brain. The lab employs genetic approaches such as CRISPR gene-editing and high throughput sequencing approaches such as long-read sequencing to study how RNA biogenesis events are linked.
The candidate should have an interest in RNA and gene regulation. Priority will be given to candidates with demonstrated research excellence and who are capable of implementing innovative approaches. The ideal candidate should have expertise in techniques used in genetics, molecular biology and neurobiology. Experience working with mice, mammalian cell culture, or Drosophila preferred. Experience in the analysis of next generation sequencing data is also desirable. See lab website: www.post-transcriptional.com for more information.
Required Qualifications
A Ph.D. in any biological sciences related field by time of appointment.
Degree must have been received within the last five years.
