The Babonis Lab at Cornell University seeks to hire a motivated postdoctoral associate who will use a broad range of cellular, molecular, and functional genomic techniques in a wide array of marine invertebrate species to interrogate the evolution and development of novel traits. The successful candidate will be expected to develop and optimize protocols for various ‘omic techniques (single cell transcriptomics, proteomics, etc.) and other techniques for assaying protein function in non-model organisms at different life stages. This position will also require the development and maintenance of transgenic animals that will be used to examine the evolution of cell identity within and across species. Anticipated Division of Time General Lab Research Activities: 70% Animal Care/Husbandry: 15% Training: 15%
