PostDoc Taracena Lab

Investigate the genomic and epigenomic basis of sexual differences in somatic tissues of insect disease vectors. Combine chromatin accessibility, single-cell or single-nucleus RNA sequencing, splicing analysis and functional studies of sex-determination pathways. Research examines traits relevant to blood feeding, reproductive physiology, immunity and disease transmission. Responsibilities include experimental design, sequence analysis, publication and mentoring.

PhD in a relevant biological discipline by appointment; sequencing library preparation, functional genomics and bioinformatics scripting experience, plus a first-author research record.
