Postdoctoral Position in Shark EvoDevo, Stem Cell Biology and Tooth Regeneration

Posted by , on 29 April 2019

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

A postdoctoral position is available in the Laboratory of Gareth Fraser (www.fraser-lab.net) at the Department of Biology, University of Florida. Our lab is focused on a range of research projects based around the central theme of vertebrate evolutionary developmental biology – they include tooth development and regeneration, craniofacial diversity, EvoDevOmics, and skin appendage evolution and development.

 

We are looking for a motivated and creative scientist to continue to develop the shark and ray as comparative evodevo models for a range of research projects. The primary focus of this position will be stem cell mediated tooth regeneration in sharks and rays, however we do encourage development of the candidates own creative research ideas and interests, so there is potential here to develop a project that suits the candidate in line with the focal themes of the lab.

The applicant selected for this position would begin the beginning of the Fall 2019 term.  The anticipated date would be August 16, 2019.

 

Qualifications

Candidates should have an interest in evolutionary developmental biology, and vertebrate diversity. Knowledge of developmental biology techniques, RNAseq analyses or stem/regenerative biology is desirable.
