Postdoctoral Position at Laboratory of Genomic

New information of USA scholarship on a Postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Genomic.


Diversity of the National Cancer Institute-Frederick (Chief, Stephen J. O’Brien), in Frederick Maryland
(http://home.ncifcrf.gov/ccr/lgd/).

The position is in the comparative genomics and evolutionary biology group led by Jill Pecon-Slattery, to investigate aspects of genomics, genetics, and
evolution of mammalian genomes.



We are interested in characterizing genome patterns of diversity, recombination, and mutation; conducting gene annotation; detecting endogenous retroviruses; and uncovering repetitive elements in ongoing whole genome projects of carnivores, primates, and ungulates. The successful candidate will have a PhD in genetics, genomics, or a
related field.

A background in the application of bioinformatic methods to genome studies and/or host-pathogen genomics would be a competitive advantage. Please submit to Jill Pecon-Slattery by email (slattery@ncifcrf.gov) the following:

1. a complete curriculum vitae,
2. a 1-2 page research statement,
3. PDF files (no more than 2) of reprints, and
