Postdoctoral Researcher in EGFR Signaling and Evolution in Drosophila

Rutgers University–Camden’s School of Art & Sciences, Biology Department, the Center for Computational and Integrative Biology (CCIB), and the Yakoby Lab invite applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position funded by an NIH grant. The role focuses on investigating the co-evolution of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its ligand across Drosophila species using molecular, genetic, biochemical, and computational approaches. The successful candidate will employ genome engineering (CRISPR/Cas9), molecular biology, and biochemical tools to validate genomic alterations and study EGFR signaling evolution. The position is renewable subject to funding availability and offers an opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary research environment. Applicants should have a PhD in biology, developmental biology, molecular evolution, or a related field, with required experience in genome engineering.
