A Research Associate position is available at the U.S. Meat Animal
Research Center in Clay Center, NE. The current position will have
primary responsibility for metagenomic and microbial genome
experiments related to respiratory disease in cattle, but will have
opportunity to participate in a broad range of genomics and
metagenomics studies in ruminant species, including our current
efforts producing and analyzing reference-quality genome assemblies
for bovinae species (e.g. gaur and bison) and production of
haplotype-resolved assemblies for cattle breeds in use in the U.S.
Facility with bioinformatics tools is a strong plus, but willingness
and ability to learn these skills is acceptable.
USMARC is located in a rural part of south central Nebraska with low
cost of living. Most employees live either in Clay Center
(population about 800) or Hastings (population 25k). USMARC has high
quality scientific facilities and unparalleled animal resources for
conducting genomic studies in cattle, with a herd size currently at
about 8,000 breeding cows. The appointment will be for two years at
GS-11 level (starting salary $62,236 plus benefits).
USDA is an equal opportunity employer. The funding source for this
position is available for starting dates prior to October 1, 2019,
and has specific requirements, in that applicants must have obtained
a Ph.D. degree within the past four years or anticipate matriculation
soon, and must be citizens of the Unites States.
