Postdoc Position: Visible Ape & Dissemination
Hiring Institution: Howard Univ.; Posted: 07-02-2021; Duration PostDoc: Sep2021-Aug2023
A postdoctoral researcher is sought to join the Rui Diogo lab (www.ruidiogolab.org), at the Howard University College of Medicine, Department of Anatomy (Washington DC).
Within
the field, this is one of the labs with a higher impact, number of
publications in top journals, books, awards, and press coverage (TV,
newspapers, press releases, etc.). Therefore we are looking for someone
that is not only a relatively independent, top researcher, but also
highly motivated, ambitious, willing to learn, and to help in
dissemination - a crucial component of the philosophy of the
laboratory-, including travels to rural communities in Africa and
several scientific meetings. On the other hand, this means the
researcher will gain a huge experience and be part of several top
publications, therefore becoming highly prepared for a more senior
position, after those 2 years, as has been the case with the vast
majority of our previous postdocs. See also:

We are therefore interested in a candidate that will have the ability to:
1) Help to coordinate a major, NSF-funded project to produce a Visible Ape Website and mobile app that is similar to, and will be directly compared with, the Visible Human Project.
2)
Help write review papers and books on broader evolutionary topics,
therefore getting a substantial experience in publishing in top journals
and monographs.
3) Have the willingness to disseminate science and bring awareness to ape conservation, including in rural communities in Africa, DC public schools, scientific meetings, and numerous other places. Therefore, the researcher should have a good, and ideally a very good, English level, as well as writing skills.
4) Have a high
independence, and the drive to be highly productive, taking advantage of
the broader scope and numerous collaborations of the lab, while also
enjoying a vast liberty, concerning both a daily-basis schedule and at
an intellectual level.
Interested candidates should send a 1-page letter addressing this announcement, as well as a detailed CV to Rui Diogo, at rui.diogo@howard.edu. Please write "post-doc in Diogo's lab" followed by your last name in the email subject.
Howard University is
a historical University situated in the center of Washington DC, which
is a beautiful, green and enjoyable city with numerous cultural and
outdoor activities. The Department of Anatomy provides a prosperous,
resourceful and multidisciplinary environment for research, includes
faculty with a broad experience in developmental biology, paleontology,
neurobiology, comparative anatomy and medicine. We have strong ties with
surrounding institutions, particularly with George Washington
University and Smithsonian Institution, and the candidate will probably
have the opportunity to do part of his/her research at those
institutions and thus to further expand his/her knowledge and academic
connections.
