POSITION:  Postdoctoral Associate 

LOCATION: Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics Biotechnology Building Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 

This position requires an experienced scientist with state-of-the-art skills in molecular biology and molecular genetics and genomics. The scientist will use these tools to investigate transcription regulation in higher eukaryotes. The scientist will be expected to generate genome-wide data on transcription and protein-DNA interactions. This position also requires that the scientist be capable of analyzing this data and providing initial drafts of manuscripts that describe and discuss results. 

80% - The postdoctoral associate will dedicate most of his/her time to laboratory research and data analyses, working specifically on the goal of understanding the interactions and functions of large molecular weight complexes that transcribe and regulate genes.

10% - Writing research papers and progress reports that come from this research.

5% - Assist with giving lectures and teaching; and in helping to develop new grant applications.

5% - Professional Development 

Requirements: 

Ph.D. in molecular biology, biochemistry, or genetics, and skills in genomics and computational biology is required.
