Postdoc Positions in Plant-Diazotroph Interactions The Friesen lab is moving to Washington State University Fall 2017 to continue to pursue research at the intersection of genomics, evolution, and ecology using plant-diazotroph interactions as a model system.
Postdoctoral positions are available with the possibility of contributing to ongoing projects in legume-rhizobia and grass-associative nitrogen fixer interactions, with the expectation that applicants will simultaneously: • engage in interdisciplinary research • develop independent lines of inquiry • apply for independent funding • contribute to collaborative proposal preparation • contribute to a collaborative and inspiring lab environment Solid training in (at least one of) evolution, ecology, plant biology, microbiology, modeling and/or genomics is desired, with demonstrated facility in quantitative methods and written communication. The lab has access to excellent facilities at WSU for plant growth, phenomics, and genomics, and there are nifty opportunities for outreach, including but not limited to evolutionary video game development. Please contact me (maren.l.frie...@gmail.com) with (i) CV and (ii) brief statement of interest; I will be at ESA 2017 if you'd like to meet up to chat about opportunities in person.
