Postdoctoral Research Associate

4 months ago


New York, United States American Museum of Natural History Full time

The Department of Herpetology at the American Museum of Natural History seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the areas of evolutionary and genomic biology. The postdoctoral fellow will be based in the Burbrink Lab, and collaborate with Dr. Tiago Simões (Princeton University) and Dr. Marc Tollis (Northern Arizona University). Along with these collaborators, the Research Associate will work on the NSF-funded collaborative project "The Genomic Basis of Evolutionary Innovations in the Squamate Tree of Life."

The postdoc will help with the main goal of exploring the genomic foundations of evolutionary innovations throughout Squamata (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians). The study will result in a clearer understanding of genomic-phenotypic relationships across broad taxonomic scales by comparing rates of evolutionary change across the phenotype and throughout the genome using a comprehensive sample of trait space from extant and extinct taxa and sequences from all protein coding and regulatory genes. The postdoc working with Dr. Burbrink will be responsible for producing high-quality whole genome data for squamates, which will include extracting high molecular weight DNA, performing quality control on samples, sending samples for sequencing and assembling and annotating genomes. Additionally, the postdoc will help analyze integrated genomic data, develop computer code and write manuscripts focusing on macroevolutionary analyses relating rates of genetic and morphological evolution across deep time.

Applicants should have the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively with team members. Ideal candidates will exhibit creativity and the desire to work in an interactive and inter-disciplinary environment.

This one-year appointment is expected to be renewed for a second year based on satisfactory performance.

Please attach to this application:

* A cover letter outlining research interests and suitability for this position (1 page).
* A curriculum vitae including a complete list of publications.
* Up to three examples of published papers.
* The names and contact information of three academic references.

The expected salary for the Postdoctoral Research Associate is $66,450/annual. The AMNH offers an extensive benefits package designed to meet the needs of our dedicated and diverse community.

Pay will be determined based on several factors. The hiring range for the position at commencement is based on the type of work and the scope of responsibilities. The salary and placement offered is based on a number of individualized factors, including, but not limited to, skills, knowledge, training, education, credentials, areas of specialization and depth and scope of experience.
