Genomics and Systems Biology
Jaiswal lab at Oregon State University (http://www.oregonstste.edu) is
seeking talented and motivated candidates for current and future job
openings as postdoctoral fellows and software developers in the systems
biology and bioinformatics. The successful candidates are expected to
have either or both the experience of working in a biology wet lab
and/or bioinformatics, computational biology lab. The successful
candidate(s) will collaborate with researchers from Biochemistry,
Molecular Biology, Plant Development, Genetics and Systems Biology
programs. Postdoctoral applicants must have a Ph.D. (or equivalent
degree) in biology, bioinformatics, molecular biology, biochemistry,
genetics, computational biology or related fields, and some demonstrated

Post-doctoral position in Pear Genomics and Biotechnology
A post-doctoral position is available immediately to study fruit
ripening phenomenon in Pear utilizing genomics and biotechnology
approaches. The project will focus on understanding the cold-temperature
based ripening in certain Pear varieties using transcriptomics. Training
in the areas of genomics, genetics and next-generation sequencing
technologies and an interest in computational biology and breeding will
be preferred.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. in plant biology, molecular biology,
biotechnology or horticulture. We are looking for a highly enthusiastic,
self-motivated and a creative individual who is a critical thinker
capable of independent thought and research and is highly desirous of
utilizing this opportunity to advance their career. There are additional
opportunities to contribute to the ongoing apple genome project in the
laboratory. Excellent oral and written communication skills and the
ability to work well in a collaborative research environment are
essential. The successful candidate is expected to participate in
outreach activities, training of graduate and undergraduate students and
interact with fruit industry members. The initial appointment will be
for one year and reappointment will depend on successful performance and
availability of funding. Salary will be commensurate with experience and
qualifications.

Associate in Research Position in Horticultural Genomics and
Biotechnology lab at WSU
A position for an Associate in Research position is available
immediately in the Horticultural Genomics and Biotechnology laboratory
at Washington State University. The incumbent will be self-motivated,
proactive and a creative individual who can synthesize basic and applied
approaches in plant biology research. Our program is sequencing the
apple genome and uses high-throughput next-generation genomics platforms
to resolve biological questions in horticultural crops grouped in
Rosaceae and in grapes.
The successful candidate will assist the PI in managing the laboratory,
and perform research in various areas related to genomics, genetics,
transcriptomics, computational biology and biotechnology. The person
will be expected to participate in the laboratory's outreach activities.
Excellent organizational and communication skills are required. In
addition, computer skills for biological data analysis will be
considered favorable. Familiarity with next-generation sequencing
technologies will be advantageous. The person is expected to work with
an interdisciplinary team and demonstrated ability to interact and work
collaboratively with others will be considered favorably.
The selected candidate is expected to design and conduct experiments
independently, and to help in graduate, undergraduate student training.
A MS in plant biology field is required. A Ph.D. in Plant Sciences or
related discipline is preferred. A candidate with BS may be considered
only if they have over 7 years of experience in a similar position. Good
publication record is an advantage. Salary will be commensurate with
experience.
