Join the Dacks Lab at the University of Alberta as a Postdoctoral Scholar and delve into evolutionary cell biology. This hybrid position emphasizes research on adaptin protein complexes and vesicular trafficking. The lab seeks a dedicated researcher for a two-year role focusing on the pre-LECA evolution of adaptin protein complexes using Dictyostelium discoideum.

You will work in a dynamic environment equipped with state-of-the-art microscopy and computing technologies, marrying theoretical bioinformatics with practical experiments. Key Responsibilities:

- Study the evolution of adaptin protein complexes
- Implement Ancestral Protein Reconstruction techniques
- Utilize bioinformatics for data analysis
- Engage in team-oriented projects within the lab
- Prepare research for publication and dissemination

Requirements:

- Completed PhD in Evolutionary Biology or related area
- Experience in cell biology and bioinformatics
- Proficiency in data analysis software
- Strong collaborative and independent working skills
- Effective communication and documentation abilities

Drive impactful research initiatives on early vesicular trafficking evolution at the Dacks Lab.
