Position Description: A Postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity of the National Cancer Institute-Frederick (Chief, Stephen J. O'Brien), in Frederick Maryland (http://home.ncifcrf.gov/ccr/lgd/). The position is in the comparative genomics and evolutionary biology group led by Jill Pecon-Slattery, to investigate aspects of genomics, genetics, and evolution of mammalian genomes. We are interested in characterizing genome patterns of diversity, recombination, and mutation; conducting gene annotation; detecting endogenous retroviruses; and uncovering repetitive elements in ongoing whole genome projects of carnivores, primates, and ungulates. The successful candidate will have a PhD in genetics, genomics, or a related field. A background in the application of bioinformatic methods to genome studies and/or host-pathogen genomics would be a competitive advantage. Please submit to Jill Pecon-Slattery by email (slattery@ncifcrf.gov) the following: (1) a complete curriculum vitae, (2) a 1-2 page research statement, (3) PDF files (no more than 2) of reprints, and (4) the name, address, and email of three references. Review will begin February 1, 2008, and will continue until the position is filled.
