POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN EVOLUTION OF DEVELOPMENTAL MECHANISMS

Three-year NSF-supported postdoctoral position is available at University of California San Diego, Department of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA, USA to study the evolution of segmentation in chordates. This is a multi-level study focused on somite formation in the basal chordate amphioxus. The study involves dissecting the genetic mechanism of somite segmentation in embryos and larvae of the basal chordate, amphioxus. The effects of perturbing gene function on the mechanics of somite segmentation will be monitored at the single-cell level by 3-D reconstructions with serial blockface scanning electron microscopy. RNA-Seq will address questions of gene hierarchy.  Applicants with a background in evo/devo and/or developmental mechanisms of amphioxus are preferred. A PhD is required. Interested applicants please submit a curriculum vitae, names, addresses and e-mail addresses for three references to Dr. Linda Z. Holland, Marine Biology Research Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego, La Jolla CA, 92093-0202 (tel 858-534-5607; fax 858-534-7313; email lzholland@ucsd.edu). UCSD is an equal opportunity employer.

Spring 2020 PhD Pathways Career Planning and Preparation Workshops

Stanford PRISM - Stanford Postdoc Recruitment Now Accepting Applications

The application is now open for our fifth PRISM cohort. Stanford PRISM is a recruitment opportunity for late-stage graduate students from diverse backgrounds to explore postdoctoral training at Stanford.

Please forward the following message to your colleagues and any graduate students planning to complete their PhDs by June 2021 who might be interested in considering postdoctoral training at Stanford.

Stanford PRISM
PRISM (Postdoctoral Recruitment Initiative in Sciences and Medicine) is an opportunity for select late-stage graduate students from broadly diverse backgrounds to come to Stanford for a recruitment weekend, interview with potential mentors, and get the inside scoop on postdoctoral training at Stanford. The purpose of this program is to encourage those who might not currently consider a postdoctoral position at Stanford to get a first-hand look at whether Stanford might be a good fit for them. Our goal is to match excellent trainees to excellent mentors at Stanford.

This opportunity is open to all. We especially encourage those from backgrounds underrepresented in academia to apply, including but not limited to: African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, Filipinos, those with disabilities, first generation college-goers, those from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, and those underrepresented on the basis of gender identity or expression or sexual orientation. Applications consist of an application form, a CV, a research statement, a recommendation from your graduate advisor, and the names of up to 6 potential mentors at Stanford.

For more information or to apply, go to http://postdocs.stanford.edu/PRISM
PRISM Spring 2020 dates: May 20-23, 2020
Deadline: March 2, 2020

Stanford Science Fellows Postdoctoral Training Program

Stanford University is launching a new fellows program for postdoctoral researchers. I welcome your help in encouraging promising candidates to apply. The deadline for application is November 1, 2019.

The Stanford Science Fellows program is focused on incubating new directions in foundational scientific research through an interdisciplinary community of exceptional postdoctoral scholars from around the world who are driven by a sense of wonder about the natural world. The goals of this new postdoctoral training program are:
To deepen our understanding of the natural world by advancing and bridging disciplines in the physical, mathematical, and life sciences.
To provide opportunities for exceptionally qualified early-career scientists to develop academic leadership skills focused on fostering scientific discovery, acquire interdisciplinary approaches to foundational scientific research, and broaden science communication skills.
To recognize and support scholars who bring a diversity of perspectives, identities, and backgrounds, including those from groups who are underrepresented in the sciences.
To build community at Stanford around frontier research challenges.
To provide flexibility and resources for bold, independent thinkers to pursue their own scientific research visions.

Stanford Science Fellowships are intended for exceptional early-career postdoctoral scholars who have recently been awarded their PhD or will be awarded their PhD by the start of the fellowship and who want to pursue research and training in any natural science discipline. International scholars are welcome to apply.

Between 4 to 8 fellows will be selected to start appointments between July 1 and September 1, 2020. Prospective fellows will be considered by a committee of Stanford faculty from departments and schools across the natural sciences at Stanford.
