Description A postdoctoral position is available in the Koski Lab of Plant Evolutionary Ecology at Clemson University to develop and carry out studies on plant thermal performance and floral thermoregulation in wild plant populations. Current research in the lab focuses on reproductive and phenotypic responses to abiotic and biotic heterogeneity, experimental pollinator-mediated evolution, and application of population genetic approaches to examine historical demographic processes shaping floral variation. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct research in Clemson's plant growth facilities, laboratory spaces, and field populations. Responsibilities include designing and executing experiments, analyzing data, preparing manuscripts for publication, and mentoring undergraduate research assistants. The position requires residence in or near Clemson, South Carolina. The initial appointment is for one year, with a projected start date of August 2026, with the possibility of renewal for a second-year contingent upon satisfactory performance.
