DescriptionThe Genetic Heritage Group in the Science Division, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a research technician to work on human and animal population genetics.
The successful applicant will work on cutting-edge projects investigating human population histories and the emerging role of gut microbiomes in human adaptations.
