Position summary: The Darragh Lab at Indiana University, Bloomington is
recruiting a postdoctoral researcher. We are looking for a colleague to
study the evolution of terpene synthesis in insects. This position will
focus on discovery and functional validation of biosynthetic pathways
in insects to further our understanding of convergent evolution of
terpene synthesis. The candidate will be expected to design and carry out
experiments, analyze results, write manuscripts, and contribute to weekly
lab meetings. Projects can be developed based on personal interests.

Basic qualifications: A PhD in Biology or similar is required at the time
of appointment. Previous research experience in evolutionary biology,
biochemistry, or molecular biology is also required. Preferably the
candidate will have experience with protein expression and enzyme
assays. The candidate is expected to work independently as well as part
of a team.

Salary commensurate with years of experience. To apply, please submit a
letter of interest, your CV and contact information for three references
