********************PostDocs******************** The Behrman Lab (behrman-lab.org) in the Department of Biological Sciences at Dartmouth College invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in molecular genetics or neuroscience. Our research investigates the mechanisms underlying adaptation to environmental variation. We integrate evolutionary genetics, functional genomics, physiology, and organismal biology to understand how genetic and neural variation translate into phenotypic and behavioral differences in natural populations. We are particularly interested in connecting molecular and neural mechanisms to whole-organism function and evolutionary processes. We seek a highly motivated scientist with strong molecular and/or neurobiological expertise who is excited about addressing evolutionary and physiological questions that span levels of biological organization. The successful candidate will develop an independent research program aligned with the lab's integrative framework while contributing to ongoing collaborative projects. This position is full-time, non-remote, in-residence at Dartmouth in Hanover, NH, with start date as early as June 1, 2026. The appointment will be for one year with opportunity to renew annually. Intellectual community: The Behrman Lab is housed in the Department of Biological Sciences and is actively engaged in three interdepartmental programs that connect across the College, the Geisel School of Medicine, and the Thayer School of Engineering: Cell and Molecular Biology, Integrative Neuroscience at Dartmouth and Ecology, Evolution, Environment and Society. Affiliation with these programs provides a vibrant intellectual community, with access to interdisciplinary collaborations, seminar series, reading groups, and annual retreats. Dartmouth also offers extensive shared research infrastructure, including the Molecular Tools and Molecular Interactions Imaging Core, Genomics Core, and the Imaging Facility, providing broad support for molecular, genetic, and imaging-based research. Postdoc specific resources: Postdoctoral scholars at Dartmouth benefit from institutional support through the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies. In addition to campus-wide professional development opportunities including grant writing through GrantGPS and pedagogy through Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning -postdocs have access to programing tailored specifically to their career stage. Postdocs are also supported by the Dartmouth Postdoc Society, which fosters community building, peer mentoring, and professional networking across disciplines. Dartmouth is committed to academic excellence and encourages the open exchange of ideas within a culture of mutual respect. Dartmouth welcomes people with different backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives and believes that diversity in all its forms enhances academic excellence.

Course website: ( https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/course49/ ) This five-day course provides a practical introduction to the full GWAS workflow, guiding participants from study design and data preparation to statistical analysis and interpretation of results. Through a combination of lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to perform GWAS analyses and integrate the different steps into a coherent and efficient pipeline. The course combines conceptual lectures with practical sessions using R and Linux command-line tools. Participants will explore key topics such as linkage disequilibrium, linear and logistic regression models, exploratory data analysis, genotype imputation, statistical power, multiple testing, and the construction of reproducible GWAS pipelines. The final sessions will introduce post-GWAS analyses and alternative approaches. The course is intended for students, researchers, and professionals with a background in biology or genetics who wish to gain practical experience with GWAS. Prior experience with GWAS is not required.
