Research Associate – Comparative Genomics & Phylogenomics of Anaerobic Protists

The Rogers Lab’s in the Dept. of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine Dalhousie University, seeks a Research Associate to work on a project aimed at comparative and evolutionary genomics/phylogenetics of anaerobic protists and associated bacteria.

Responsibilities

• Conduct all wet‑lab and computational aspects of a project involving long and short‑read genome sequencing, de novo assembly, metagenomic binning, genome annotation and downstream analyses of gene content and genome architecture in a comparative/evolutionary framework, individually or as part of a team.
• Assist the PI in mentoring trainees in the laboratory by training them on genomics, bioinformatics and evolutionary analysis and how to interpret their analyses.
• Present findings at regular lab meetings and other seminars both in the university and at scientific meetings.
• Write findings in manuscripts for peer‑reviewed publication.
