A postdoctoral position is available in the Baucom lab, which is relocating to the EEB dept at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor this July. Members of the lab work on projects that range from plant evolutionary ecology to plant population genetics and comparative genomics: see (http://baucomlab.org/Baucom_Home.html) for more information about our ongoing projects.
For this postdoctoral position, we seek an enthusiastic and independent researcher interested in the role of the plant metagenome (microbial and eukaryotic root associates) on the evolution of weediness and invasiveness. The work thus requires basic molecular lab and field ecology experience, along with previous experience analyzing large genomic datasets and basic command line capabilities. Funding for this position is available for 2 years (contingent upon satisfactory progress). To apply, please send a single pdf with a cover letter, a CV, 1-2 representative publications, and names and contact information for 3 references to [email protected] by July 10. Start date is flexible. If interested in this position, I will be at the SSE meetings in Snowbird and very happy to discuss the opportunities in the lab personally -- please contact me via email prior to the meeting. The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. -- Regina S. Baucom baucomlab.org [email protected]
