Position description
The Neuroscience Research Institute and the Departments of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for a Postdoc position.
The Yi Lab at the University of California, Santa Barbara is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to join an interdisciplinary project that combines neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and epigenetics. The overall goal of our research is to investigate how epigenetics impact brain evolution and development, especially in the evolution of unique cognitive abilities and disease vulnerabilities in humans. This project focuses on large-scale comparative neuro-epigenomic analyses using single-cell approaches.
The postdoctoral fellow will have opportunities to interact with neuroscientists, primate biologists and anthropologists. The main duties of the postdoctoral fellow are to oversee genomic and epigenomic data collection and take a lead in the analyses of those data. Even though the main activities of the postdoctoral researcher will consist of computational and bioinformatics analyses, she/he will also have opportunities to design and participate in the experiments according to her/his interests.
The Yi lab is an interdisciplinary group of students and postdocs and project scientists from diverse backgrounds. The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and service as appropriate to the position.
