hiring Scientists!

The long-term goal of Nakamura lab is to unvail the genetic mechanisms underlying fish diversity and their contribution to the fish-to-tetrapod transition. To this end, we bridge functional genomics, genetics, and embryology using model and non-model organisms, including zebrafish, skates, and sharks.

Rutgers University is located in New Brunswick, NJ, which is only 45 minutes away from NYC by train. Many competitive research universities and institutes are in the Northeast area, offering remarkable opportunities for collaboration and research conferences. The Nakamura lab regularly visits the American Museum of Natural History (https://www.amnh.org/) and the Marine Biological laboratory (https://www.mbl.edu/) for the purpose of analyzing unique specimens and educating students.

If you are interested in working with us as Ph.D. candidate or postdoc, please contact the PI, Tetsuya Nakamura at nakamura@dls.rutgers.edu.
