Assistant/Associate Investigator or Postdoctoral Positions in Computational & Evolutionary Genomics at Institutes of Zooology (IOZ), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing, China
Zhang Lab at IOZ of CAS is seeking highly motivated and ambitious assistant/associate investigator or postdoctoral fellows in the areas of Computational & Evolutionary Genomics. By combining comparative genomics and functional genomics in either fly or mammals, we explore how the joint action of mutation and selection shapes gene gain and gene loss in evolution, and how gene content evolution affects the phenotypic evolution. Representative publications are PLoS Bio. 2012/2011/2010, PLoS Genet. 2012, Science 2010 and Genome Res. 2010/2009. For more details, please refer to the lab website, http://zhanglab.ioz.ac.cn
Applicants with at least one of the following categories of training are preferred: programming language such as Perl or Python, statistical language such as R or matlab, fly genetics, functional genomics. Salary or compensation will match with the experience. Chinese applicant who is dedicated to receive the PhD degree around the middle of 2013 is able to apply for the residence in Beijing if he or she applies for the assistant investigator position. Applicants with outstanding publication records are encouraged to apply for the associate investigator position or the well-funded Postdoctoral International Exchange project.
Please submit a cover letter (including a brief statement of interest), CV and contact information of two references to Dr. Yong E. Zhang by email (zhanglabioz@gmail.com).
Closing Date: until filled. Start of position: flexible.
