Interested in joining the Rivera-Mulia lab?
Postdoctoral Associates
We are seeking ambitious postdoctoral applicants to work in the identification of regulatory elements of 3D genome architecture and replication timing. The successful candidate will identify regulatory elements exploiting distinct genomic methods to map DNA replication timing, 3D genome organization and gene expression (Repli-seq, Hi-C, Hi-ChIP, RNA-seq). A Ph.D. in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, developmental or related areas is required. Candidates with strong expertise in genomics will be considered and salary will be commensurate with NIH guidelines.
Prospective candidates should send Dr. Rivera-Mulia (riveramj@umn.edu) a cover letter describing their interests, suitability for the position, CV with a complete list of your publications and a letter of recommendation from most recent advisor.
Graduate Students (Fall 2023 and beyond)
We are recruiting exceptional graduate students and our lab is open for rotation opportunities.
PhD and MS prospective students interested in work in stem cell biology and genome architecture should send inquiries to Dr. Rivera-Mulia (riveramj@umn.edu) to discuss opportunities. Please include your research interests, CV and a letter of recommendation.
Undergraduate Students
We welcome undergraduate students interested in acquiring basic lab skills and learning complex experimental procedures. Distinct opportunities are available (UROP, Directed Studies, honor's thesis, etc) and we will consider students that can commit a minimum of 10 hours/week. Interested students should send inquiries to Dr. Rivera-Mulia (riveramj@umn.edu).
Researchers
Technical positions are advertised through the University of Minnesota Job website.
We are committed to promote a diversity of views, experiences, and ideas in the pursuit of research. Hence, candidates from underrepresented backgrounds are especially encouraged to apply.
Why Minnesota?
The University of Minnesota is among the top public research universities. The University houses the first stem cell research institute in United States (Stem Cell Institute), a NIC-designated center for cancer research (Masonic Cancer Center), the Developmental Biology Center (DBC) and the Institute on the Biology of Aging and Metabolism (iBAM).
The University also has excellent core facilities including the Genome Engineering Shared Resource with CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing services, the Genomics Center (UMGC) with state-of-the-art genomic technologies for Next-generation Sequencing (NGS), the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute (MSI) with resources for high performance computing, and the Imaging Center.
University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus is also located around the scenic Mississippi River, within walking distance to Minneapolis downtown.
