All - The following position is now accepting applicants. Please note
that with regards to the statement about research efforts ranging from
molecular to ecological scales, we mean we will review applicants who
range from the molecular to the ecological, not that one applicant must
have expertise over that entire span. This is a purposefully broad
search. We encourage anyone with expertise in evolutionary biology to
apply and if you unsure about applying, please do not hesitate to
contact Dr. Maryam Ahmed, who is the chair of the search committee.
