Postdoctoral position in the Unckless Lab at the University of Kansas

The Unckless lab at the University of Kansas invites applications for a
postdoctoral position that will focus on the evolution of immune defense
in Drosophila. We will use multiple techniques including genetic mapping,
RNA-sequencing, and Drosophila genetics to better understand how species
differ in their ability to fight infection.  The successful candidate
should have experience in genomic analysis, Drosophila genetics or
immunology and would be able to develop skills in some of the other
approaches.

The Unckless Lab studies evolutionary genetics in general with a focus
on the evolution of immunity and selfish genetic elements (meiotic
drive). The University of Kansas is home to both the Department of
Molecular Biosciences and the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology and members of the lab interact directly with other labs
spanning biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, genomics, evolution and
ecology. Lawrence, Kansas is a vibrant college town with plenty of good
food, cultural events and a wonderful downtown area. The cost of living
is very reasonable. We are about 45 minutes from Kansas City.
