One (possibly two) postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Anne Yoder in the Department of Biology at Duke University. Lab interests are focused on the vertebrates of Madagascar, especially the iconic lemurs.  Current projects in the lab include speciation dynamics in mouse lemurs, phylogeography and conservation genetics of Madagascar¢s terrestrial vertebrates, the metagenomics of the gut micorflora in lemurs, and study of hibernation behaviors in mouse and dwarf lemurs. The successful applicant(s) will have opportunities to collaborate on these projects and/or to develop independent and complimentary projects.

This postdoctoral search is particularly focused on adding genomic and bioinformatics expertise to our current emphasis on PCR and Sanger sequencing techniques.  With the advent of new sequencing technologies, opportunities exist for exploring genotype/phenotype connections in non-model organisms that were unthinkable, only a few years ago. As a successful candidate, you will have expertise in some or all of the following:  RNA-seq methods, short-read sequencing techniques, and/or bioinformatic approaches to large data sets.  The lab has an explicit evolutionary focus, so candidates should have familiarity with or proficiency in phylogenetic and/or population genetic methods.

The successful candidate(s) will be highly organized, mature, enthusiastic, and motivated.  And don¢t forget to bring your esprit
de corps and joie de vivre!

Conditions:

Current funding is for two years, with the possibility of a third year, depending upon successful performance evaluations and opportunities for additional funding.  Salary is competitive, and the position(s) will carry full Duke benefits.  Review of applications will begin on May 15, 2012. A start date of September 1, 2012 is ideal.

BIOINFORMATICS POSTDOC IN FUNCTIONAL EVOLUTIONARY GENOMICS

Center for Integrative Genomics, University of Lausanne, Switzerland

Two postdoctoral positions (2 years with possible extensions up to 5 years) are available immediately in the evolutionary genomics group of Henrik Kaessmann.

We are seeking highly qualified and enthusiastic applicants with strong skills in computational biology/bioinformatics, preferably also with experience in data mining and comparative or evolutionary genome analysis.

We have been interested in a range of topics related to the functional evolution of genomes from primates (e.g., the emergence of new genes and their functions) and other mammals (e.g., the origin and evolution of mammalian sex chromosomes). In the framework of a recently launched series of projects, a large amount of transcriptome and genome (e.g., epigenome) data are being produced by the wet lab unit of the group using next generation sequencing technologies for a unique collection of tissues from representative mammals and outgroup species (e.g., birds). Topics of current projects based on these data include the origins and/or evolution of protein-coding genes, alternative splicing, microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and dosage compensation.

The postdoctoral fellow will perform integrated evolutionary/bioinformatics analyses based on data produced in the lab and available genomic data. The specific project will be developed together with the candidate.

The language of the institute is English, and its members form an international group that is rapidly expanding. The institute is located in Lausanne, a beautiful city at Lake Geneva.

For more information on the group and our institute more generally, please refer to our website: http://www.unil.ch/cig/page7858_en.html

Please submit a CV, statement of research interest, and names of three references to: Henrik Kaessmann (Henrik.Kaessmann@unil.ch).
