Experience with DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing, familiarity with computer software for molecular genetic and phylogenetic analysis. Salary is commensurate with degree and experience. We are looking for a person to fill an anticipated two-year postdoctoral position to investigate the molecular genetic diversity of marine invertebrate species found in the fouling and sediment communities associated with oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. Funding for this research is through awards from the U.S. Minerals Management Service. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in biology or a related field.
Salary is commensurate with degree and experience.
Salaries commensurate with qualifications and experience. Two postdoctoral researcher positions are available to study the molecular mechanisms of ionizing radiation resistance and desiccation tolerance in Deinococcus radiodurans , Chroococcidiopsis sp ., and Nostoc commune . Experimental studies will focus on identifying changes in gene expression in response to ionizing radiation and dehydration, and determining what proteins are responsible for resistance to each stress.
