organisms to their natural environment by combining functional genomic and
ecological/evolutionary approaches. The postdoctoral fellow will have
access to excellent university resources including the Konza Prairie
Biological Station, a core Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site
(www.climate.konza.ksu.edu), the K-State Gene Expression Facility
(www.k-state.edu/gene-exp), and infrastructure of the Division of Biology
and Departments of Entomology, Agronomy and Plant Pathology. For additional
information about the Ecological Genomics Institute please visit the Ecogen
