The Hibbins Lab at the University of Rochester (Department of Biology) invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher in Phylogenomics. Our new group at the University of Rochester seeks to develop theoretical and computational approaches that leverage genome-scale datasets to better understand macroevolutionary processes such as speciation, trait diversification, and genome evolution. The successful candidate may develop a variety of projects depending on their background and interest, including (but not limited to) the development of new methods for inferring hybridization and introgression, new phylogenetic comparative methods, or empirical phylogenomic studies on the drivers of sex chromosome and/or karyotype evolution, or the genetic basis of convergent evolution. More details about the lab's research directions can be found on our website: https://mhibbins.github.io/research/ The Department of Biology has particular research strengths in evolutionary genetics and proximity to a world-class medical center, allowing ample opportunities for potential collaborations. More info about the Department can be found here: https://www.sas.rochester.edu/bio/ The ideal candidate for this position will have research experience in phylogenetics, experience with "omics" (whole-genome sequencing, RNA-Seq, etc.) datasets, strong computational skills (R/Python, Bash, HPC and Linux environments, research software development), familiarity with mathematical modelling and/or statistical inference, and a track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals. We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who is excited at the prospect of joining a new lab and helping to shape the future research directions of our group. Funding for this position is available for two years out of the PI's startup funds at the NIH standard. Start date is flexible but ideally no later than the Fall of 2026. The position will remain open until filled. If you're interested, please contact Mark Hibbins at mark.hibbins@rochester.eduwith your CV and a brief statement of your interest and research experience.
