The Rocha Lab at New York University seeks a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to conduct cutting-edge research on the evolutionary history of mammalian populations inhabiting extreme terrestrial environments. The position focuses on generating chromosome-level, haplotype-resolved genomes using state-of-the-art sequencing technologies and analyzing genomic variation to understand speciation and adaptation. The postdoctoral associate will work closely with senior scientists, develop independent research skills, publish findings, mentor students, and contribute to reproducible bioinformatics pipelines. This role supports career development toward research scientist independence in a collaborative academic environment.
