Job no: 493232 Work type: Postdoctoral Opportunities Location: Gambier, OH Categories: Postdoctoral fellow in Biology The Biology Department at Kenyon College in Gambier, OH is seeking qualified applicants for a full-time, 3-year post-doctoral position in the laboratory of Karen Hicks. This position is funded through an NSF RUI grant to uncover the molecular mechanisms governing seasonal reproductive development in the moss Physcomitrium patens. We are using a combination of forward and reverse genetics, coupled with genomic and transcriptomic approaches, to isolate key genes involved in this process and build a molecular framework for this pathway, which appears to be distinct from that in flowering plants. Specifically, we are using an unbiased mutagenesis screen to identify necessary components of seasonal regulation and evaluate their spatial and temporal regulation. In addition, we are using CRISPR mutagenesis to test the hypothesis that one or more photoperiod-dependent genes serve as inducers of reproductive development. Finally, we are employing quantitative trait genetics to discover genes that underlie natural variation in reproductive timing observed across P. patens strains from different geographic regions. Responsibilities The postdoc will conduct research; collect, analyze, and synthesize data; mentor undergraduate researchers; and disseminate results in scientific publications and presentations at scientific meetings. Opportunities The wide range of approaches in the project offers the successful applicant a chance to learn new research skills while building upon familiar ones. In addition to their leadership role in the research project, the postdoctoral fellow will develop mentoring skills, and may have the opportunity to develop undergraduate teaching skills. This unique postdoctoral experience will involve the early-career scientist in the workings of a selective liberal arts college without the expectations of service, full-time teaching, and academic advising. Qualifications Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. in molecular biology, developmental biology, genetics, or a related field by the start date of the appointment. Applicants who have not yet completed their doctorate should indicate the date the degree is expected. Applicants should demonstrate evidence of prior research experience and publications, excellent written and oral communication skills, and a strong background in genetics, genomics, plant developmental biology, and/or molecular biology.

This position requires the ability and motivation to work independently and in small teams. Salary and benefits Salary range is $57,000-60,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
