<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">An NSF-funded postdoctoral position is available to work on a collaborative project between the labs of Dr. Jeff Palmer (Department of Biology, Indiana University,
Bloomington) and Dr. Claude dePamphilis (Department of Biology, Penn State University, University Park). This project is a follow-up to papers on the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes of the basal angiosperm
<i>Amborella</i> that were led by our labs and published in the Dec. 20, 2013 issue of
<i>Science</i>. The project focuses on evolutionary gene transfer, including transfer of mitochondrial and plastid sequences to the nucleus of
<i>Amborella</i>, and the extensive horizontal transfer of foreign mitochondrial sequences to the mitochondrion of
<i>Amborella</i>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This is a strictly bioinformatic/comparative genomic project involving extensive analysis of genome-scale sequence data. A Ph.D. in computational biology, evolutionary
genetics, or a related field is required, and proficiency in computer programming is expected. Competitive candidates will have a strong record of prior publication in genome-scale data analysis, including bioinformatic pipeline construction, phylogenomics,
and/or genome evolution. This position is funded for two years, with continued appointment dependent upon availability of funding. Salary will be commensurate with experience, and full benefits are included.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To apply, please submit, as a single unified PDF, a cover letter detailing research interests and experience, a C.V., and contact information for three professional
