August 30, 2021 Institution North Carolina State University Location Raleigh, NC, USA Description The Sozzani Lab research focuses on understanding how stem cells are organized and maintained in the root of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Our goal is to gain a coherent qualitative and quantitative understanding of stem cell maintenance at the systems-level. Our research leverages techniques derived from molecular, developmental and cell biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and engineering. In plant systems, stem cell regulation has clear implications for increasing the production of crops used for food, fiber and fuel. Our research will reveal a specific molecular pathway of plant stem cells, and provide broader insights into the fundamental properties of stem cells across the plant and animal kingdoms. We are looking to hire a postdoc! Join us exploring the transcriptional activation, data analytics, and deep learning. Direct message Lisa Van den Broeck with inquires and/or questions. Institution
Lawrence Berkeley Lab, Joint Genome Institute Location Berkeley, CA, USA Description Lawrence Berkeley Lab’s (LBL) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) has an opening for a Genome Annotation Scientist (Data Scientist) to join the team. Take advantage of an exciting opportunity to employ your scientific and computational skills as part of the JGI Plant Science Program, the world’s largest producer of high-quality plant genome assemblies and annotations. In this role, you will work at the JGI within the Plant Comparative Analysis group to generate new as well as improved plant genome annotations and facilitate the acquisition, incorporation, and display of functional, genetic, and other genome-anchored data in the Phytozome Genomics Portal (https://phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov). Your responsibilities include the curation and assessment of relevant plant transcriptomic datasets and assembled genomes, running and troubleshooting the annotation pipeline, analyzing the resulting gene predictions in coordination with internal and external scientists, evaluating genome-specific modifications and tuning of the pipeline components, and incorporating the data into the Phytozome portal.

August 5, 2021 Deadline September 30, 2021 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time Institution New York University Location New York, NY, USA Description The Huang lab at NYU Biology (huanglab.rbind.io) is looking for a highly motivated and independent individual to work as a Postdoctoral Associate in regulatory genomics. This position is for a post-PhD trainee preparing for a research scientist career path. The planned position will provide a transition to career independence through the development of professional skills; supervision by senior scientist incorporating individual development plan in support of training goals and those of faculty mentor; and publication of research findings/scholarship during postdoc appointment period. Qualifications The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in genetics/genomics, molecular biology, plant biology, ecology/evolution or computational biology, a track record or first- or co-first-author peer- reviewed publications, and prior research experience in any of these areas: molecular cloning, protein expression and purification, comparative genomics, analysis of high-throughput sequencing data, basic statistics, computer programming and/or machine learning. Experience with analyzing genome variation of Arabidopsis or other organisms is a strong plus. The position is expected to continue for multiple years contingent on satisfactory performance. |
