Postdoc: Evolutionary Developmental Biology of Fish

Sdbonline; New Brunswick (NJ); On-site; USD 54,000 - 66,000; Full time

Job summary

Rutgers the State University of New Jersey's Nakamura Lab seeks two postdoctoral researchers to study the genetic and developmental basis of fish diversity. The lab integrates functional genomics, embryology, and comparative anatomy across actinopterygians and chondrichthyans, welcoming candidates with strong backgrounds in developmental or evolutionary biology, genomics, genetics, or related fields.

Experience in fish embryology, high-throughput sequencing, or bioinformatics is a plus but not

Qualifications

• PhD in a relevant field (developmental biology, genomics, or related).
• Experience with fish embryology or evolutionary biology is a plus.
• Strong background in genetics or molecular biology.
