Job Details:
General NotesDr. Lee A. Fuiman and Dr. Hans A. Hofmann are seeking a postdoctoral fellow for a research project funded by the Texas Gulf Coast Research Center that is investigating the development of malpigmentation in Southern Flounder. The research project investigates malpigmentation by (1) conducting experiments to test the effects of specific hatchery practices on the incidence of malpigmentation and, by applying state-of-the-art molecular tools to samples obtained from those experiments, (2) to investigate the physiological and developmental pathways that are responsible for malpigmentation. Both bulk 3' tag-based RNA-Seq and single nucleus transcriptomics are being employed, with particular attention to the role of the developing brain and possible dysregulation of homeostatic processes resulting in malpigmentation
Ideally, the postdoctoral fellow will work in Dr. Hofmann's lab in Austin or in Dr. Fuiman's lab in Port Aransas, but remote working arrangements will be considered. The position is available immediately and is scheduled to end August 31, 2025, although an extension might be possible.
