Join the lab

Interested in joining the King lab?

We invite motivated undergraduates with previous experience in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, or computational biology to apply for a position in the lab. A minimum commitment of 12 hours per week, spanning two semesters and a summer, is expected. When available, openings for undergraduate research positions will be posted at the URAP web site.

Candidates for graduate study are encouraged to apply through the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB). The MCB program allows students to rotate through 3-4 different labs in the first year, providing a diversity of research experiences and permitting students and potential advisors to evaluate whether a given lab is a good fit. International and domestic applicants with exceptional undergraduate records, significant research experience, and a well-defined proposal for their thesis research may wish to apply through the Department of Integrative Biology (IB). Candidates interested in applying to IB should send a cover letter, statement of research interests and resume to Nicole (nking @ berkeley . edu).

We encourage applications from talented and motivated postdoctoral candidates with relevant experience in genetics/genomics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, computational biology, evolution, protistology and related fields. The strongest candidates are those with a track record of high-quality publications, excellent communication skills, enthusiasm for basic research, and a collegial/collaborative approach to science. Please provide a cover letter, .pdfs of all published papers and pre-prints, and three letters of recommendation. Please note that all postdoctoral slots in the lab are currently full.
