The Cornille laboratory in the Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to recruit a postdoctoral associate. The successful applicant will conduct population epigenomics analyses on plants. The main foci of these analyses will be:

• The identification of genes and epigenomic features that have evolved adaptively or play a role in the response to stress.
• The evolution of transposable elements in a population (epi)genomics context.

The successful applicant will have the opportunity to develop an autonomous research project related to the lab's interests in evolutionary genomics. Motivated applicants with a strong background in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics and an interest in leading cross-disciplinary research are encouraged to apply.

This position is supervised by Dr. Amandine Cornille.

Successful candidates must hold a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Biology. Significant experience in one or more of the following is strongly desired:

• Population genomics and epigenomics:
• Conduct a set of techniques in molecular biology by adapting the experimental conditions (apply health and safety rules, extract and sequence DNA and RNA).
• Run statistical and bioinformatic analyses.
• Transposable Elements Biology.
• Excellent communication skills in English.
• The ability to work in multidisciplinary teams and scientific creativity are essential.

The Post-doc will be supervised by Professor Samreen Malik and will be part of a research team that works on issues related to development of human capital as well as climate and sustainable development.
