DalhousieU LakeTroutPopGenomics
Postdoctoral position
A postdoctoral researcher position is available in Paul
Bentzen’s laboratory in the Department of Biology at
Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Core responsibilities
for the researcher will be to work with
existing data sets on microsatellite and mtDNA variation
in lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) populations
that display sympatric morphological and/or ecotypic
divergence in several large lakes scattered across North
America, with the aim of producing several publications
for the primary literature. Opportunities will also exist
for the researcher to conduct further, novel research
on the population genomics of lake trout or other fish
species, using approaches such as RADseq.
Qualified candidates will have or be about to receive
a PhD degree, expertise in population genetic analyses
and research interests in evolutionary or conservation
genetics. Experience with geometric morphometric
analysis and/or analysis of RAD data would also be
beneficial.
The starting date is flexible, but could be as early as
January, 2013. The position is for 2 years, with the possibility
of renewal for a third year. Starting salary will
be $40,000 (Canadian). Interested individuals should
contact Paul Bentzen (paul.bentzen@dal.ca). Formal
applications should include a CV, cover letter with a
statement of research interests, and sample publications,
but feel free to contact me first with informal
queries.

DukeU EvolutionaryEcol
Duke University, Biology Department, Postdoctoral
Position in Evolutionary Ecology
A Postdoctoral Researcher is wanted to participate in
an NSF funded project on the evolutionary ecology of
germination and life histories in Arabidopsis thaliana.
The project involves fieldwork and lab experiments that
investigate the genetic basis of germination responses to
seasonal environmental cues and natural selection on
loci associated with life-history variation. Results will
be integrated in a mathematical model to predict life
cycles of different genotypes in different seasonal environments.
The position requires a motivating interest
in evolutionary ecology and genetics and a successful
publication record. Some experience with mathematical
modeling is preferred.
Available as early as 1 December, 2012. One year,
subject to renewal. Competitive salary and full Duke
benefits. Duke University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative
Action employer. Please send CV and
names and contact information for three references to
