Postdoctoral Position in Plant Genomics/Bioinformatics at Purdue
University
A full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Plant
Genomics/Bioinformatics is available in the Department of Agronomy at Purdue
University. The successful candidate will investigate transposon-mediated gene
and genome evolution and functional consequences in soybean and some other
plant species by computational and bioinformatics approaches, and be expected
to contribute to a variety of studies on structural, functional and evolutionary
genomics in Dr. Jianxin Ma’s laboratory (see some recent publications, Tian et al.
2009 Genome Research, Tian et al. 2010 PNAS; Du et al. 2010 Plant Cell; Du et
al. 2010 BMC Genomics; Du et al. 2010 Plant Journal). We are part of Purdue
University Agricultural Genomics Center equipped with the state of the art
genomics and bioinformatics facilities, and are member of the Plant Biology and
Molecular Evolutionary Genetics training groups of Purdue University
Interdisciplinary Life Science Program (PULSe).
Applicants should have a PhD degree in Genetics/Genomics,
Bioinformatics/Computational Biology, or related disciplines. Familiarity with
computer programming (e.g., PERL) and experience with genomic data mining
and sequence analyses are highly desirable. Experience with basic molecular
techniques is a plus. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.
Please email your cover letter, curriculum vitae, and names and addresses of
three references to Dr. Jianxin Ma (maj@purdue.edu), Department of Agronomy,
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907.
