One last reminder that we have TWO open postdoc positions in the lab.
While the ad is focused on single-cell genomics, neurogenomics, and aging, we are also interested in anyone with the curiosity and eagerness to think deeply about aging, the environment, and the genome.
🐕2 open postdoc positions!🐒
We're looking for 2 postdocs to join our team studying how environmental variation impacts gene regulation in the aging brain and body.
Multiple years of funding + sunshine (every. single. day.)
