A three-year postdoctoral position is available immediately in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University through the Yale Institute for Biospheric Sciences Program in Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics. We are seeking a highly motivated and creative individual to assist in developing and operating an experimental test-bed for validating the predictions of eco-evolutionary theory. The successful candidate will engage in regular working groups combining international leaders in experimental and theoretical approaches to eco-evolutionary dynamics and will conduct experiments utilizing high-throughput, automated measures of evolving microorganisms and liquid-handling robotics. Experience with these technologies is preferred, but all strong candidates will be considered.
The YIBS program in Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics is co-directed by David Vasseur, David Post, and Paul Turner. The successful candidate will be appointed within the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; more information on the department is available at www.yale.edu/eeb. More information about postdoctoral appointments at Yale is available at http://www.yale.edu/postdocs/. Applications should be emailed to David Vasseur ([email protected]) and include a CV, short statement of research interests, and contact information for three references. Applications will be considered beginning on September 1, 2013.
