The Koski Plant Evolutionary Ecology Lab is seeking a postdoctoral scholar
to conduct research on floral color evolution in a Southeastern annual
plant. Specifically, we are examining the roles of pollinator shifts,
abiotic shifts, and sensory drive in shaping flower color diversity
among populations.

The postdoc will be responsible for collecting and analyzing data,
mentoring undergraduate and graduate researchers, and writing
manuscripts. Research will be conducted in the greenhouse, growth
chambers, and natural field populations.

The primary projects will be a multi-generation experimental evolution
study combined with growth chamber and field experiments. The ideal
candidate would also take advantage of opportunities to study population
genomics and metabolomics of the focal species, and/or engage in a
community science project on flower color evolution. Funding is available
for up to three years based on performance.
