Position description
Interested in long read sequencing and genome assembly? Structural variation? Computational Biology? Evolution? Primate genomics? Check out this opportunity in the Sudmant lab!
The Sudmant lab at the Integrative Biology Department at the University of California, Berkeley, is seeking postdocs to work on a fully funded NIH project to assemble and analyze haplotype-resolved near-T2T genomes from 50 diverse primates species. This NSF/NIH EDGE funded project seeks to analyze these genome assemblies to better understand how the structures of primate genomes have evolved and responded to different selective pressures over the last several million years. Some specific topics of interest include: characterizing lineage specific gene expansions, identifying patterns of balancing selection and ILS, and characterizing patterns of diversity. The project will also involve novel methods development and application. This project is in collaboration with Matthew Mitchell (Coriell) and Erik Garrison (UTHSC). Genome sequencing is currently ongoing using several different long-read technologies (PacBio, ONT, HiC).
Additional duties include disseminating research results through presentations and publications, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.
Our lab philosophy is firmly based on the premise that science should be fun, inclusive, collaborative, and open.
Qualifications
Basic qualifications (required at time of application)
PhD (or equivalent international degree), or enrolled in a PhD degree program (or equivalent international degree program).
Additional qualifications (required at time of start)
Ph.D. (or equivalent international degree) and record of published science. No more than three years of post-degree research experience by start date.
