Description:

The Promislow lab at the University of Georgia is seeking an enthusiastic, independent postdoctoral researcher to study the genetic architecture of aging in Drosophila. Current projects include studies on aging in molecular networks, and on natural genetic variation for somatic mutation rate. The goal of these projects is to better understand the causes and consequences of aging in natural populations. The successful candidate will apply genetic and genomic approaches to the study of aging in flies. Specific experiments will include large-scale analyses of genomic and metabolomic networks, in vivo measures of somatic mutation rate, and genome wide association studies to map variation in network structure and mutation rate. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in population genetics, genomics, and/or systems biology & network analysis.

The position is initially available for two years, and may be extended. The postdoc will be among a dynamic, interactive group of evolutionary geneticists at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA.
