The Purugganan lab at NYU Biology is looking for a highly motivated and independent individual

to work as a Postdoctoral Associate.

This position is for a post-PhD trainee preparing for a research scientist career path. The

planned position will provide a transition to career independence through the development of

professional skills; supervision by senior scientist incorporating individual development plan in

support of training goals and those of faculty mentor; and publication of research

findings/scholarship during postdoc appointment period.

Projects in the Purugganan lab work on functional genomics and systems biology of rice

ecosystem adaptation, as well as population genomics of plant domestication. Planned projects

use field experiments, large-scale genotyping, phenotyping and RNA sequencing, and

computational analyses. The position is based in the NYU Center for Genomics and Systems

Biology, in downtown Manhattan and will be part of a thriving research community that includes

colleagues working on a broad range of topics.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position

specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD, have prior research experience using computational

approaches, and a track record of peer-reviewed publications. Candidates should have a strong

record of research productivity, able to work semi-independently, and are interested in working

across field experiments, large-scale genome data acquisition and computational analyses.
