Postdoc: UMinnesota.SpeciationMatingSystems

Postdoctoral Positions at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities We are seeking one to two postdocs to work on a new NSF-funded project on the contribution of mating system evolution to speciation. The project is a collaboration among three labs at the U. of Minnesota: David Moeller ( moellerlab.wordpress.com), Yaniv Brandvain (brandvainlab.wordpress.com), and Emma Goldberg (umn.edu/~eeg). The project integrates field experiments, population genomics, and mathematical modeling to investigate the evolution of character displacement and reinforcement between incipient species of Clarkia xantiana, an annual plant with a long history of research in evolutionary biology. Some of the major goals of the project are to (1) examine the role of natural selection in the evolution of reproductive character displacement using a combination of mathematical models and field experiments, (2) quantify the ecological and genetic costs of hybrid formation using field experiments and genomic analysis, and (3) assess the consequences of pre- and post-zygotic isolating mechanisms for genome-wide patterns of introgression. As a part of the broader project, we are sequencing and assembling the genome of C. xantiana. For the initial postdoc hire, we are particularly interested in a candidate with interests in mathematical modeling and genomic analysis. The ideal candidate has expertise in one of these areas along with serious interest in developing skills in another aspect of the project. The postdoc would be expected to contribute primarily to this funded project, but would also have the freedom to develop work outside of it. A second postdoc hire will be made in the near future. For that position, we are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in ecological genetics and field experimentation, along with interests in developing skills in genomic analysis. We would be happy to discuss this position and timing if interested. Initial appointment will be for one year with competitive salary ($48,426) and full benefits. Renewal for 1-2 more years is possible, pending excellent performance and mutual agreement. The start date is flexible. To apply, please assemble (i) a 1-3 page cover letter that highlights how your research interests and skills fit with this project, (ii) a CV, and (iii) names and contact information for three professional references. Materials should be submitted online at http://bit.ly/2w7xcyW (Click on the tab in the center of the page that corresponds to their situation; Search Job ID# 327218). Review of completed applications will begin December 1, 2018, but candidates will be considered until the position is filled. Informal inquiries are encouraged, directed to any of the PIs. The Twin Cities campus of the U. of Minnesota is home to an exciting and diverse set of scientists, expertise, and resources, particularly within the Departments of Ecology, Evolution & Behavior (cbs.umn.edu/eeb) and Plant and Microbial Biology (cbs.umn.edu/plantbio), the U. of Minnesota Genomics Center (genomics.umn.edu), the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute ( msi.umn.edu), and the Bell Museum of Natural History (bellmuseum.umn.edu). The campus is located in the heart of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, which is rich in cultural attractions, has an extensive park system, lies close to a diverse array of natural areas, and is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the U.S. The University of Minnesota is committed to the policy that all persons shall have equal access to its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. via Gmail

Postdoc: UMinnesota.SpeciationTheoryGenomics

Postdoctoral Positions at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities We are seeking postdocs to work on an NSF-funded project on the contribution of mating system evolution to speciation. The initial hire will focus on both theoretical questions in the evolution of character displacement, speciation genetics, and mating system, and the generation and analysis of complementary population genomic data. The project is a collaboration among three labs at the U. of Minnesota: Yaniv Brandvain (brandvainlab.wordpress.com), Emma Goldberg (umn.edu/~eeg), and David Moeller (moellerlab.wordpress.com). The project integrates field experiments, population genomics, and mathematical modeling to investigate the evolution of character displacement and reinforcement between incipient species of Clarkia xantiana, an annual plant with a long history of research in evolutionary biology.
