Post doc position in developmental genetics of evolutionary novelties and convergent phenotypes
A postdoctoral position is available in our lab for conducting research in the developmental genetics of evolutionary novelties and convergent phenotypes. These last two years, we set-up breeding colonies of non-classical model organisms (within mammals and reptiles) necessary for these studies. The successful applicant will work on identifying the generative mechanisms underlying specific evolutionary novelties and convergences both at the genomic and phenotypic levels. This work is, by essence, highly multidisciplinary and integrative and will require techniques such as:
1. comparative transcriptomics (using ultra-fast 454 / Solexa sequencing technologies) and comparative proteomics (two-dimensional protein electrophoresis, mass spectrometry) across species and developmental stages
2. classical developmental genetics approaches (histology, in-situ hybridizations, ex-vivo cell and tissue cultures, …)
3. transgenics (especially using lentiviral technologies).
Applications: Please, send a statement of your research interests and motivations, a CV
with a list of publications, and the coordinates of two references to: Pr. Michel C. Milinkovitch
(Michel.Milinkovitch@unige.ch). Please, use the same address for informal enquiries.
