I am searching for a full-time postdoctoral researcher with experience
in the area of the statistical analysis of multivariate evolutionary
time series or related topics. I have a funded project to study
microevolution in a 20,000-year-long sequence of the fossil stickleback
fish, Gasterosteus doryssus.

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for (i) analyzing and
interpreting a completed phenotypic and paleoecological dataset from
the fossil fish sequence; (ii) preparing and publishing manuscripts;
(iii) assisting with data curation and archival; and (iv) supervising
undergraduate researchers assisting with the project. The postdoc could
have the opportunity to learn fossil preparation and conduct collection,
if needed to augment analysis and writing. The position is classified
as a teaching postdoc, and the postdoc may teach courses as instructor
of record depending on research requirements, funding, interest, and
career goals.

Details are below. Here is the link to the application:
