A post-doctoral position is available to work in Gil Rosenthal's lab

A post-doctoral position is available to work in Gil Rosenthal's lab at
Texas A&M University, on a collaborative project with Peter Andolfatto's
lab at Princeton University. Salary is available for two years, with
the opportunity to apply for further funding. The position is available
immediately, but a delayed start date may be negotiated.  The aim of
the project is to apply next-generation sequencing, computational
bioinformatics, and behavioral assays to characterize functional
interactions among genes responsible for spontaneous melanoma in natural
hybrids of Xiphophorus fish. The ideal candidate will be a passionate
evolutionary or behavioral geneticist with excellent computational skills
and experience with basic molecular biology. Experience with laboratory
studies of behavior and/or command of Spanish are desirable.  The work
will be based at Texas A&M University in College Station, which offers
an excellent living and work environment within easy reach of Houston
and Austin. The postdoc will have the opportunity for multiple visits
to Andolfatto's lab at Princeton and/or to the CICHAZ field station
in Mexico's Sierra Madre Oriental.  We strongly encourage female,
minority, and LGBTQ applicants. The University environment fosters
work/life balance and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
