POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN ECOLOGICAL GENOMICS OF SPECIATION; INSTITUTE
OF ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
A postdoctoral position is available in the Streisfeld lab at the
University of Oregon as part of a NSF-funded project to identify the
ecological genomic changes that drive the early stages of species
formation in Mimulus. The project will involve greenhouse, field, and
laboratory components that include high-throughput SNP genotyping,
next generation sequencing, QTL mapping, and field estimates of
divergent selection. The postdoc will be involved in all aspects of
the project, from data collection to publication, and will be
actively encouraged to pursue side projects of his/her own interest.
PhD in evolutionary genetics or a related field is required.
Experience with next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics
analysis is preferred. The ideal candidate will be independent,
highly motivated, productive, and able to work effectively in a team
with members from a variety of diverse backgrounds. She/he will have
an excellent understanding of experimental design and a proven
publication record.
The Streisfeld Lab
(<http://www.uoregon.edu/~mstreis>www.uoregon.edu/~mstreis) in the
Institute of Ecology and Evolution offers a broad and interactive
environment for research in plant evolutionary biology. We share
close ties with other evolutionary biology labs on campus, and
benefit from shared facilities, such as the genomics core research
facility. The University of Oregon is an AAU research institution
located in Eugene, OR, one of the most outstanding small cities in
the US. The campus is one hour from the beautiful Oregon coast and
one hour from hiking and skiing in the Cascade Mountains.
To apply for this position, please send a statement of research
interests, publications, CV, and letters from three references to
Matt Streisfeld via <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected]
(preferred) or c/o Postdoctoral Search # 13120, Institute of Ecology
and Evolution, 5289 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-5289.
The position is available for one year with the possibility of
renewal depending on research progress. Although the position is
available immediately, the start date can be flexible based on the
needs of the candidate. The position will remain open until filled.
Women and members of groups underrepresented in science are
encouraged to apply. The University of Oregon is an
EO/AA/ADA institution committed to cultural diversity.
