Population Biology Postdoctoral Research Fellowship School of Biological Sciences University of Nebraska-Lincoln The University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) School of Biological Sciences is seeking applications for a two-year postdoctoral position in the Population Biology Program of Excellence. The goal of the Population Biology-POE Postdoctoral Fellowship is to stimulate synergistic interactions between faculty and postdoctoral scholars broadly interested in the area of Population Biology. POE postdoctoral fellows pursue a research program under the sponsorship of an EEB faculty member and are expected to enhance graduate education, serve as a model for graduate students in career development, and promote interactions among faculty at UNL. While in residence, the postdoctoral fellow is expected to lead a seminar, symposium, or outreach project that will appeal to Population Biologists across campus. EEB faculty at UNL are highly integrative and collaborative, using a wide array of approaches and study systems to study a diverse set of biological questions, from the molecular determinants of adaptation and speciation to multimodal animal communication to the community ecology of extinct mammals to the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. The expected salary will be $49,000 per year, with an anticipated starting date of September 1, 2025 or later. Lincoln, Nebraska, is consistently rated as one of the best places to live in America, with a low cost of living, over 130 miles of bike trails throughout the city, and a vibrant restaurant and music scene. Minimum Required Qualifications We are seeking applicants who have recently completed, or will complete before the start date, their Ph.D. and who conduct cutting edge research related to faculty research areas in the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior (EEB) section of the School of Biological Sciences (https://biosci.unl.edu/research-areas). Application Process Review of applications will begin April 4, 2025 and continue until the position is filled. Interested candidates should submit application materials to https://employment.unl.edu/, requisition F_250002. Required documents include a curriculum vitae, a 1-page description of previous or current research, and a 2-3 page description of proposed research. Combine these statements into a single document for upload. In addition, arrange for two (2) recommendation letters from non-UNL faculty and one (1) recommendation letter from the UNL faculty sponsor - a total of three (3) letters - to be emailed to Dr. Colin Meiklejohn at cmeiklejohn2@unl.edu by the review date. The subject line should read "Population Biology Post-doc application reference." The research proposal should be developed in collaboration with the proposed faculty sponsor. The successful applicant must have completed their degree by the start date. Priority will be given to applicants who are new to UNL.
