Organisation/Company: NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ABU DHABI
Research Field: Biological sciences
Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2), Established Researcher (R3)
Country: United Arab Emirates
Application Deadline: 31 Mar 2025 - 00:00 (UTC)
Type of Contract: Other
Job Status: Full-time
Offer DescriptionDescription
The New York University Abu Dhabi Center for Genomics and Systems Biology (NYUAD-CGSB) is a well-established research cluster focused on using global or "systems" level approaches to address the organization and function of biological systems at multiple levels: cells, organisms, populations, and ecosystems. The NYUAD-CGSB is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to conduct research on adaptive evolution in invasive species, using the mesquite tree (Prosopis sp.) as a model system. This position will be based at NYU Abu Dhabi and supervised by NYUAD-CGSB's Director, Dr. Stephane Boissinot, Professor of Biology and P.I. of the NYUAD Evolutionary Genomics Laboratory.
The Postdoctoral Researcher will combine -omics approaches and field experiments to (1) determine the role of population structure, demography, and hybridization in shaping genetic diversity in invasive and native populations of mesquite trees; (2) determine the genetic bases of adaptation in invasive populations; (3) link genotypes and phenotypes across levels of organization among populations adapted to different habitats. Candidates must have a strong background in various –omics approaches (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, metagenomics). Since data and samples will be collected in populations from both the invasive (Middle-East, East Africa, South Asia) and native (Central and South America) ranges, candidates must have an interest in fieldwork and a taste for travel.
The NYUAD-CGSB has access to state-of-the-art equipment for sequencing, microscopy, and high-throughput screening, and well-equipped core facilities for conducting any kind of chemical or biological analyses. The candidate will be part of a team of 5 Postdoctoral Associates in the research group of Prof. Boissinot, who are working on a diversity of research projects focused on adaptive evolution and the evolution of genomic structure and function.
To be successful in this role you MUST possess the following to be considered:
- PhD in Biology from an accredited university.
- A strong publication record with first-author experience.
- Experience in working with plants.
- Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to liaise with external stakeholders, collaborators, and students.
Previous experience in the following is DESIRABLE but not essential:
- Experience in -omics approaches.
- Knowledge of plant physiology.
- Experience in field research.
- Ability to lead and conduct multiple, possibly divergent, research projects simultaneously.
- Mentoring of undergraduate students in a research setting.
- Ability to plan, allocate, and monitor research budgets for projects.
This position will begin September 01, 2025, as a two-year contract, renewable depending on funding availability and performance. Note that a later starting date is possible. The role comes with an attractive salary and benefits package, including housing, medical insurance, annual home leave allowance, and (if relevant) dependent school fees; salaries are tax-free in the UAE. Questions regarding specifics for this position may be directed to .
All applications MUST be submitted through Interfolio. Applications should include a 1-2 page cover letter that must respond to the required and desired experiences described above, a copy of a current CV, a 1-page statement of research interest, names of the 3 references, and a transcript. The cover letter should also describe the relevance of the candidate's experience for the position.
The deadline for application is Saturday, March 31, 2025, at 23:59 EST. Review of applications will commence thereafter, with interviews conducted in April. Only those applicants selected for an interview will be contacted.
