Job Description

The Abreu lab at NYU Biology is looking for a highly motivated and independent individual to work as a Postdoctoral Associate.

This position is for a post-PhD trainee preparing for a research scientist career path. The planned position will provide a transition to career independence through the development of professional skills; supervision by senior scientist incorporating individual development plan in support of training goals and those of faculty mentor; and publication of research findings/scholarship during postdoc appointment period.

Projects in the Abreu lab involve testing theoretical predictions about eco-evolutionary dynamics in experimental model systems of yeast and bacteria. Planned projects will include genome editing, experimental evolution with DNA-barcoded strains, sequencing analysis and bioinformatics, and basic mathematical modeling, including interfacing with theorists. Our lab harnesses these tools to discover basic principles of eco-evolutionary dynamics, and to formulate rules of how microbial communities respond to changing environments.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500 – $70,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.
