Join the Dacks Lab at the University of Alberta as a Postdoctoral Researcher focused on evolutionary cell biology. This hybrid role utilizes bioinformatics to study adaptin protein complexes.
Situated in North Campus Edmonton, the opportunity involves using Ancestral Protein Reconstruction and investigating early vesicular trafficking machinery evolution in Dictyostelium discoideum. The Dacks Lab provides advanced facilities and a cooperative environment emphasizing experimental and computational approaches.
Key Responsibilities: • Conduct research on adaptin protein complexes evolution • Apply Ancestral Protein Reconstruction methods • Execute detailed bioinformatics analyses • Work with Dictyostelium discoideum model organism • Collaborate across the Department of Medicine
Requirements: • PhD in a relevant biological science • Experience in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics • Strong experimental biology skills • Ability to engage in both remote and in-lab work • Competence in utilizing high-performance computing
Explore evolutionary biology by leveraging computational techniques and fieldwork at Dacks Lab.
