Research Position - Molecular Evolution and Systems Biology Scientist: Bronx, NY, United States

Research Position
IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE

Molecular Evolution and Systems Biology Scientist

An opening for a Ph.D. or equivalent with an interest in molecular evolution and systems biology to join an established group with long-term funding. The individual will join a renowned HPV laboratory studying the epigenetic changes in the viral genome with cancer development and the molecular evolution of human papillomaviruses (HPV) is available. In addition, studies on the cervical, oral and gut microbiome and human disease represent an extension of our studies on the “HPV virome”. Our group seeks an energetic and creative individual with strong analytic/computational skills to work on human papillomavirus evolution and analysis of the microbiome using Next-Gen sequencing. We are using evolutionary biologic approaches to understand why some HPVs cause cancer and others do not. We are translating analytic epidemiological studies into biochemical and genetic experiments to understand the molecular basis of these processes. Previous training in studies of epigenetics/methylation, evolutionary biology, systems biology or other highly quantitative disciplines required. Appointment at post-doctoral, research assistant, or instructor/associate (non-tenure faculty) level available with funding for 4+ years depending on experience and qualifications.

Einstein is located in an attractive and convenient area, near the Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Gardens, minutes from Manhattan and Westchester County. We offer competitive salaries and excellent benefits. Applications will be accepted on a continuing basis until the position is filled.
