KU Center for Genomics is hiring two postdoctoral fellows! Choose a mentor among the Center's faculty and proposes an original project. Two years funding and generous research budget included. Please share, retweet and apply! genomics.ku.edu/ku-center-ge… employment.ku.edu/postdoctor…
We are deeply saddened by the tragic deaths of these two bright, young researchers. Our thoughts and sympathies are with their families and the rest of the research community at Stowers Institute.
