Seeking a highly motivated and creative postdoctoral fellow to develop methodologies for analysis of complex biological feedstocks. Candidate will be responsible for method development, sample preparation and analysis of complex biological samples. Areas of expertise should include solid phase extraction techniques, HPLC, LC/MS, GC/MS and NMR. Recent PhD in bio-analytical chemistry is preferred.
Commensurate with experience
Interested applicants should send a CV and a cover letter stating professional goals and interests, with the names of three references to: Dr. Ewa Lis, Section of Cell and Developmental Biology, University of California, San Diego, by email to elis@ucsd.edu
Candidates should have a PhD in bio-analytical chemisty is preferred. Familiarity with lipid chemistry as well as lipid analytical methods is highly desirable. Experience in oleochemicals, fatty acids and oils is preferred. Strong communication skills as well as ability to work in an interdisciplinary environment.
Immediate start desired; position open until filled
2 years with possible annual extension to 5 years
Description:
One postdoctoral position (two years) will be available starting
spring/summer 2007 to work on the conservation and broad-scale
ecology of terrestrial vertebrates.
The research will draw on a number of ecological, environmental, phylogenetic and distributional databases. An intended core focus will be the impacts of global environmental change on species' ranges, and their associated ecological and evolutionary context. There are some obvious additional research opportunities, and there is potential for the postdoctoral scientist to develop new directions.
Research Group:
The position is based in the
Lab of Walter Jetz. In this group, the successful candidate will interact
with two PhD students (broad-scale conservation of mammals and birds, macroecology
of vertebrate energy use), two affiliated postdoctoral fellows (cross-scale
bioenergetic models of herptiles, global biogeography of vertebrates), and several
graduate and undergraduate level students. There is the potential to develop and
co-supervise undergraduate and graduate research projects.
Location:
University of California, San Diego. The position is based at the
Section of Ecology,
Behavior & Evolution in the
Division of Biological Sciences - a research community of ca. 100
faculty (including 14 members of the National Academy), 140 postdoctoral
fellows, and 250 graduate students, which is further strengthened by the
neighboring Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
Requirements:
A Ph.D. in ecology, biogeography or evolution with research
experience in the analysis of spatial data and strong quantitative skills.
Evidence of research productivity as indicated by scholarly publications
is required. Sound skills and experience in the use of GIS, the analysis
of distribution data, relational databases and statistical analysis of
spatial data are a prerequisite. Evidence of strong communication and
teamwork skills is highly desired. Experience in environmental niche
modeling, spatial statistics, the analysis of phylogenetic data, R and/or
MatLab, a Programming language (e.g. C, Visual Basic) is a plus.
Application:
Please email brief letter of interest, C.V., and the names
and contact details of three referees by March 15, 2007 to
Romel Hokanson (rhokanson@ucsd.edu), subject line: "Postdoctoral Position Jetz Lab". Phone:
+1 (858) 822-4862. For questions about the position contact
Walter Jetz (wjetz@ucsd.edu). Review of applications will begin March 15, and continue
until the position is filled.

Applications are invited for one or more postdoctoral positions to study mRNA localization events in Drosophila melanogaster. Particular focus will be on RNA-protein complexes that are actively transported along microtubules to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum and that facilitate ER to Golgi trafficking (Wilhelm, JE Developmental Cell, 2005). Join the UCSD cell biology community and our growing group to examine how the RNA world interacts with membrane trafficking systems.
