A Postdoctoral position is available in the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology lab (http://bcb.unl.edu/) of University of Nebraska – Lincoln (UNL) to work on plant/microbial genomics projects. The lab is affiliated with the Department of Food Science and Technology (FDST) and Nebraska Food for Health Center (NFHC). We have ongoing genome sequencing projects funded by USDA and need an expert in plant comparative genomics, phylogenetics, and DNA sequencing data analysis. These genome projects are collaborating with research groups in USDA and in Europe. The lab is also funded by NIH to develop bioinformatics tools for genomic data mining in microbiome. The postdoc researcher will have opportunities to work with collaborators and have choice to participate in different projects depending on his/her interests. The lab also encourages members to explore/develop their own research projects within the broad Evolutionary Genomics and Bioinformatics research domain.
Duration:
The initial appointment is for one year, with renewal based on performance.
Funding is available for three years.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have a PhD or will have completed a PhD before the position starts in bioinformatics, genomics, evolutionary biology, plant genetics, or a related discipline. The applicants are expected to have had published first-authored research papers in reputed journals, and are proficient with programming in Python/C/Perl and R and UNIX. The candidate should have extensive experience working with plant/microbial genome data and gene family analysis using phylogenies. Experience in machine learning and software development is desired but not required.
Working Environment: UNL is a leading research and land grant University in the US. Its Agriculture Science ranks 64, Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology ranks 138, and Plant Science ranks 150 in the world according to U.S News. NFHC (https://foodforhealth.unl.edu/) is a center established in 2016 with researchers from University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the University of Nebraska at Omaha to tie gastrointestinal and biomedical research to agriculture, plant and animal breeding, and genetics. Lincoln is among top 10 state capital cities to live in according to https://wallethub.com/edu/best-state-capitals/19030: #4 overall rank, #9 in affordability and #9 in quality of life.
Start Date: 10/1/2023 but flexible.
Salary: A highly competitive salary ($45,000~$65,000) plus medical benefits will be offered.
How to apply: Please send a CV (with contact information for three references), cover letter describing research interests and skills, and copies of publications to Yanbin Yin (yyin@unl.edu). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
