Postdoctoral Research Associate
Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
Posting: 11121
Location: Eugene
Closes: Open Until Filled
Postdoctoral Position in Phylogenetic Ecology and Computational
Genomics
Jessica Green (http://biology.uoregon.edu/people/green/) and Brendan
Bohannan (http://biology.uoregon.edu/ceeb/faculty_pages/Bohannan/) are
currently seeking a postdoctoral researcher to collaborate on projects
combining approaches from phylogenetic ecology and computational
genomics to explore fundamental questions in microbial ecology and
evolution. Applicants should have a PhD with extensive training in
ecology and/or evolution, experience applying genome-based
bioinformatics (e.g. comparative genomics, analysis of protein families,
multiple sequence alignment, phylogenetic analyses) to understand the
ecology and/or evolution of complex biological communities, and strong
writing skills. The successful candidate will play a key role in the
Biology and Built Environment (BioBE) Center
(http://biology.uoregon.edu/biobe/). The BioBE Center is training a new
generation of innovators and practitioners at the architecture-biology
interface to understand the built environment microbiome - the diversity
of indoor microbial life, their genetic elements and their interactions.
The vision of this national research center, funded by the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation, is to integrate recent advances in microbial genomics
and biological theory to develop hypothesis-driven, evidence-based
approaches to sustainable building design.
The position is available for 1 year with the possibility for renewal
depending on performance. The start date is flexible. Applications will
be considered starting on May 31, 2011. Please email questions
regarding the position to Jessica Green ([email protected]).
