Postdoc Position

The Avian Evolution Lab at the National University of Singapore is
looking to fill a full-time Postdoctoral position as part of a long-term
project funded by an investigatorship looking into evolutionary mechanisms
generating species diversity in Australasia

Starting Date: The position is available now; delayed starting dates
may be negotiable.

Project Outline: The project aims at uncovering significant cryptic
biodiversity in some of the least-known parts of Australasia (primarily
eastern Indonesia and PNG) as well as the evolutionary processes that
have generated this species diversity; the project's main model organism
is birds, with an option to expand into other terrestrial animal classes

Requirements:

  *   The applicant should be comfortable in population-genomic and
      phylogenomic analysis, preferably with exposure to approaches in
      quantifying and testing for gene flow
  *   Interest and prior knowledge in bird species diversity would be a
      bonus, although it is not absolutely required
  *   Prior experience in tropical fieldwork (especially mistnetting) is
      not an absolute requirement, but a big bonus

Gross salary: approximately Singapore $5750 = US$ 4300 / month (not
inclusive of potential bonus payments)

Enquiries and applications should be sent to dbsrfe@nus.edu.sg

Main interviews will take place in mid- to late February 2024, and will
continue until the position has been filled
