Postdoctoral Position in Evolutionary Genomics, Stony Brook University The Veeramah Lab (https://you.stonybrook.edu/veeramahlab/), in collaboration with the Wund Lab at The College of New Jersey ( https://owd.tcnj.edu/~wundm/Wund_Lab/Welcome.html), seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work on a 3-year, NSF-funded research project investigating the early stages of ecotype formation and ecological speciation in four recently-established populations of threespine stickleback fish. We are specifically interested in how phenotypic plasticity, reproductive isolation, and patterns of residency vs. migration interact to promote or constrain adaptive divergence between newly-established freshwater populations and their immediate anadromous ancestors. This work integrates genomic approaches with both observational and experimental assessments of mate choice and seasonal migration in stickleback. The postdoctoral researcher will have primary responsibility for conducting the genomic work, but will have the opportunity to provide input on any aspect of the project depending upon their interests and expertise. The individual=92s primary tasks will be to generate sequencing data from stickleback fish and perform population genetic analysis of this data. They will be expected to work closely with the Wund Lab and assist in mentoring undergraduate students from TCNJ during the summer. As well as primary research duties applicants will be expected to write papers, help in grant writing and train/mentor graduate students. There will be opportunities to perform field work. All applicants are required to have a PhD or equivalent foreign degree in the areas of population, evolutionary or ecological genetics, or related field in hand before starting the position. Ideally candidates will have experience in generating and/or bioinformatically processing 2nd generation sequencing data and performing population genomic analysis, molecular wet lab experience, knowledge of python or equivalent or programming languages and excellent English skills as demonstrated by peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts. Applications should also be able to work as part of a team and think creatively Applications will be accepted until September 29th 2024. Applications should apply online at https://tinyurl.com/56dzv24w The official REF# is: 2402968 Applicants should submit a State employment application, a cover letter, CV and a one page research statement.
