NYU Abu Dhabi invites applications for a Kawader Research Assistant Fellow position to support the project Evolutionary Genomics of Adaptation.
The goal of the project is to determine the genomics basis of adaptation to extreme environments, with a focus on vertebrate species adapted to desertic habitats. Using the tools and concepts of evolutionary and population genomics, the successful applicant will identify genes responsible for such adaptations and will conduct detailed molecular evolutionary analyses of candidate genes to identify the precise genetic changes that allow organisms to survive in deserts.
This position offers hands-on training in evolutionary biology, molecular techniques, and computational genomic analysis within an active research environment at NYU Abu Dhabi.
What the Program Offers:
• Full-time paid research position for up to 3 years.
