Lab, we use genetics and genomics to study the molecular underpinnings of complex trait evolution. Our research focuses on understanding the development and evolution of sensory systems using cnidarians. We employ techniques such as DNA sequencing for genome analysis, RNA-seq for differential expression analysis, ATAC-seq for cis-regulation, single-cell RNA-seq for cell identification and trajectories, and in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry for visual validations.
We strive to create a collaborative and inclusive environment with room for multiple dynamic research projects under the scope of the lab's research objective. The selected candidate must demonstrate the ability
to acquire new skills, complete tasks independently, maintain meticulous organization, and devise innovative solutions to methodological problems. Responsibilities will include general lab management and compliance, maintaining aquarium animal populations, extracting RNA and DNA for sequencing, sequencing library preparation, analyzing high throughput sequencing data, data management, and training and overseeing students.
Individuals with experience working with cnidarians, generating and analyzing large data sets, and developing techniques for gene functional validations are encouraged to apply. The hiring unit will not sponsor employment-eligible immigration statuses for this position. #J-18808-Ljbffr
