A postdoc position is available in the Sadhu lab in the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the NIH, in Bethesda, Maryland.

The lab’s vision is to comprehensively understand how genetic differences underlie trait variation. To tackle this question, we study natural genetic variation across the genome and as well as comprehensive genetic landscapes, using yeast as a model organism. We develop and apply new high-throughput genetic methods, harnessing the strengths of CRISPR, large scale oligo synthesis, and high-throughput sequencing.

Our research involves both wet lab and dry lab components, giving postdocs the opportunity to develop and sharpen skills in either. Postdocs will be joining the unique scientific environment at the NIH, with thousands of highly collaborative researchers working on topics spanning basic biology to clinical research. In addition, the Washington DC metro area is an exciting, cosmopolitan place to live, with excellent transit, schools, and attractions.
