Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research associate with Ilya Ruvinsky in the Department of Ecology & Evolution and the Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology at the University of Chicago.

The project will focus on understanding the mechanisms responsible for evolutionary and physiological robustness of transcriptional networks. We are using C. elegans as a primary model system. The project will provide ample opportunities for collaboration with other groups both within and outside the University of Chicago.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Genetics, Molecular or Evolutionary Biology or related field. The ideal candidate will be creative, energetic and have excellent communication skills. All candidates are expected to have a background or interest in molecular evolutionary genetics. In addition, the candidates should have expertise in molecular biology, particularly using genetics in model organisms, and computational skills.

To apply, please submit applications (by e-mail to I. Ruvinsky), including (1) a CV, (2) brief statement of past accomplishments and PDFs of most relevant publications, (3) research interests and (4) names and contact information of three referees. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
