A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the laboratory of Jianzhi “George” Zhang at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan. The ideal candidate will use the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its relatives as model organisms to study evolutionary processes. Potential topics include but are not limited to (1) the fitness effects of various mutations including gene duplication, (2) genic/genomic basis of reproductive isolation, (3) evolution of dominance, (4) genetic mechanisms of heterosis, (5) evolution of gene essentiality, and (6) evolution of gene expression level and noise. The position requires a motivated individual with an interest in evolutionary genetics and wet lab experience in molecular genetics or genomics. Prior training in yeast genetics is a plus.
Applicants should email a short statement of research interests, CV, and contact information of three references to [email protected]. For further information about the Zhang lab, see http://www.umich.edu/~zhanglab/.
