Postdoctoral Scholar: Population genetics and epigenetics in the Atlantic Sea Scallop

The School of Aquatic and Fishery Science at the University of Washington, in collaboration with Dr. Samuel Gurr, seeks a full-time Postdoctoral Scholar to conduct bioinformatics analysis on wild sea scallop populations. The role involves leveraging a chromosome-level genome assembly to explore population structure and chromatin accessibility under environmental challenges. The project spans population genomics, chromatin remodeling, and transcriptomics, benefiting stakeholders in the sea scallop fishery. The position is based at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, OR, with opportunities for mentorship and collaboration. Applicants must have a PhD in relevant fields and experience in bioinformatics and population genetics.
