Job Description
The Siegal lab at NYU Biology is looking for a highly motivated and independent individual to work as a Postdoctoral Associate.
This position is for a post-PhD trainee preparing for a research scientist career path. The planned position will provide a transition to career independence through the development of professional skills; supervision by senior scientist incorporating individual development plan in support of training goals and those of faculty mentor; and publication of research findings/scholarship during postdoc appointment period.
Projects in the Siegal lab investigate the causes and consequences of variation in complex traits, primarily using the budding yeast Saccharomcyes cerevisiae as a model organism. Planned projects use high-throughput phenotypic analysis and selection, in combination with large-scale genetic crosses and DNA sequencing, to characterize the contributions of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions to natural trait variation.
In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary for this position is $62,500. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.
Qualifications
The ideal candidate will hold a PhD, have prior research experience using yeast genetics, DNA sequencing, and computational analysis, and a track record of peer-reviewed publications.
Application Instructions
Please upload your application materials via Interfolio. Include the following items: 1) CV including a list of publications; 2) a short summary of your present and future research interests; 3) a list of three references and their contact information.
