Postdoc in Ecological Genetics at Colorado State University
A postdoctoral position in ecological genetics and evolutionary ecology
is available in the lab of Dr. Amy Angert at Colorado State University. The
successful candidate will use molecular markers to study the effects of gene
flow on adaptive divergence between populations and the evolution of
geographic range limits. Candidate must have completed his/her Ph.D. or have
a scheduled defense date. A strong background in genetics or evolution is
required. Experience extracting and amplifying DNA from plant tissue and
analyzing microsatellite data is preferred. The successful candidate will be
expected to interact with incoming graduate and undergraduate students in a
growing lab group.
The Department of Biology at Colorado State University is an
interdisciplinary group with a strong and expanding crew of ecologists and
evolutionary biologists. CSU is heavily oriented towards life sciences. In
addition to the Department of Biology in the College of Natural Sciences,
CSU has four other colleges dedicated to life science research: Applied
Human Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical
Sciences, and the Warner College of Natural Resources. In addition, the
