加拿大拉瓦尔大学进化细胞生物学博士后招聘

Postoc Evolutionary Cell Biology : Quebec, Canada

Project title: Cross talk, epistasis and pleiotropy in signalling networks

A postdoctoral position (2 years, up to 4) is available in the Landry Laboratory at Laval University (http://landrylab.ibis.ulaval.ca). The candidate will work on a project funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) that aims at understanding the molecular and evolutionary mechanisms of cross talk and signal integration in signalling networks. The Landry laboratory is a very dynamic, international and interdisciplinary research group with broad interests in systems biology, molecular evolution, bioinformatics and ecological genomics. The applicants should have a strong background in molecular biology, biochemistry, or proteomics with interest for and/or basic skills in bioinformatics (Perl, Python, R). The projects are mainly experimental but candidates with strong computational backgrounds who are willing to learn and perform experimental research are encouraged to apply. Previous work in yeast genetics and genomics would be an asset.

Laval University is one of the most important research universities in Canada and is located in Quebec City, a lively city with a vibrant culture that offers an exceptional quality of life.

Interested applicants should send a CV, a list of publications, a statement of interest (1 page) and the name of three referees in a single PDF file to Christian.landry@bio.ulaval.ca. PhD candidates should also include a low-resolution copy of official academic transcripts. The positions will remain available until filled. Starting dates could be between October 2014 and April 2015.
