as a full-time employee. The candidate should have experience with honeybee behavioral genetics and genomics. Postdoctoral scientist is expected to design and perform procedures/techniques for the extraction of DNA / RNA using standard molecular methods for sequencing analysis, physiological assay, behavioral experiments, and advanced knowledge in RNA -seq, GWAS, and epigenomic sequencing technologies. Scientists are willing to learn new technologies and expected to supervise and mentor student researchers (under-represented minority) and assist with routine calibration and maintenance of laboratory equipment. Duties and Responsibilities: Perform complex field and laboratory experiments for queen rearing, instrumental inseminations, behavioral experiments, physiological experiments, prepare samples for sequencing. Follow QA/QC protocols and design SOPs that comply with Standard Methods Use LIMS for documentation of QA/QC/Standards/Research/Other samples. Direct routine molecular biology procedures Direct preparation of equipment, samples, reagents, media, and solutions for use in the laboratory Prepare and submit all necessary reports and related research manuscripts to research faculty/PI Ensure maintenance of chemical inventory and laboratory equipment Data entry, managements, and summarization Perform bioinformatic analysis using programming skills in computational biology. Assist researchers with statistically valid data analysis and interpretation. Assistance with preparing research findings for presentations and publications. Meet with research faculty/PI weekly, to discuss work projects and outputs and assign priorities. Mentor and work with undergraduate students for research Facilitate operation of the lab and assist the faculty/students. Other duties and responsibilities as assigned by the supervisor. Minimum Qualifications Bachelors in Entomology, Evolutionary Biology, Genomics, Animal breeding, Ecology, Cellular, Developmental Biology, or other relevant biology sciences Excellent verbal and written communication skills Knowledgeable of data entry management and presentation skills Preferred Qualifications Knowledge and skills in bee genomics, genetics, molecular biology, cellular or developmental biology for at least 2 years Evidence of peer-reviewed publications in insect genomics/transcriptomics Experience and interest in mentoring/teaching students from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Must be organized and detail-oriented with the ability to work under limited supervision. Ability to produce outcomes under strict deadlines. Experience using single-cell sequencing, nanopore direct-sequencing, or Illumina sequencing. Knowledge and skills in bioinformatics, data science, programming, or computational biology for at least 2 years Special Instructions to Applicants Candidates are required to include with their applications: Cover Letter Curriculum Vitae Research Statement Contact information of three references Required Documents Resume Cover Letter Curriculum Vitae Other Document Unofficial Transcripts Position Category Staff - Monthly (Exempt)
