Department / Area
Organismic and Evolutionary Biology Position Description We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher, with expertise in evolution and molecular genetics.
We expect the postdoc to be able to work independently and contribute intellectually to broader research themes and directions in the lab.
The postdoc will also collaborate with others in the lab who are generating novel data for experimental microbial, viral, and protein evolution .
The starting date for this one-year, term appointment is September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment may be extended for up to three years, contingent on demonstrated success and continued availability of funding.
Situated in the Northwest Labs, the Desai lab actively investigates questions in evolutionary biology, population genetics, and quantitative genetics.
We are part of Harvard’s Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and Department of Physics, which are vibrant communities of cross-disciplinary scientists at Harvard University. Basic Qualifications
- A Ph.D. degree in Biology, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or related areas;
- Hands-on experience with, or a strong interest in, molecular and evolutionary genetics.
- Expertise in data mining and cleaning;
- Experience with the analysis of next-generation sequence data and whole-genome sequencing;
- Fluency in English written and oral communication.
