Postdoc, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY: POSTDOC IN BIOINFORMATICS AND HOST-MICROBE INTERACTIONS



The Bordenstein laboratory at Vanderbilt University seeks postdoctoral applicants to study patterns of genome evolution that shape invertebrate-microbe interactions. Efforts will include computational analyses of full-genome-sequences and fine-scale analyses of molecular evolution, as well as some molecular lab work. The primary project will examine evolutionary forces shaping genetic variation in the tripartite symbiosis of invertebrates, Wolbachia bacteria, and their bacteriophages. Sources of genomic data will span next generation sequencing, Sanger sequencing, and microarrays. Demonstrable computational skills preferred including Linux, Perl,database management, and molecular evolution analyses. The candidate will have strong publications, excellent verbal and written communication skills, and the ability and interest in mentoring junior scientists. Experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams involving bioinformaticians and biologists is important.



If interested, please contact Seth Bordenstein immediately by email (s.bordenstein@vanderbilt.edu) with (i) a curriculum vitae noting at least three references and (ii) a statement of intent and experience noting when you can start. Vanderbilt is located in the cultural and educational center of Nashville, TN. The position will be filled as soon as possible.
