POSTDOC: Genomic ecology of insect-induced phenotypes A postdoctoral position is available in the Nabity Lab (www.nabitylab.org) at Washington State University where we focus on understanding insect-induced plant phenotypes using eco-physiological and genomic assessment of both plants and insects. The ideal candidate must have earned a PhD in plant biology, entomology, or related subjects in the past 5 years. The candidate should also possess a strong interest in evolutionary ecology or genetics and computational/bioinformatic experience with sequence data. The successful candidate will be expected to perform field and lab-based experiments, conduct/learn bioinformatics analyses, and work well with students. The position is available for up to 2 years, depending on performance, with a preferred start date of August/September 2015 (actual start date is flexible). Research will focus on aphid-like phylloxerids, their modes of plant manipulation, and the evolution of gall induction, but independent research in line with the lab goals will be encouraged. Please send a CV, a description of research interests, and contact information for 3 references by email to Dr. Paul Nabity ([email protected]) by June 1, 2015.
