Postdoctoral Position in Evolutionary Genomics, The University of Kansas The Mack lab (ww.katyamack.com) seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work on an NIH-funded project on gene expression evolution in mice. The Mack lab, within the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas, is an evolutionary genomics lab focused on questions related to population genetics, adaptation, and speciation. We work in diverse systems, but focus on mice as a model for understanding mammalian evolution. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to work in the lab aimed at understanding the genomic basis of complex traits using a combination of wet-lab and bioinformatic approaches (e.g., transcriptomics, population genomics, phenotyping, and genome-editing). The aims of the position will be tailored to the expertise of the successful applicant to complement the lab's broad interest in the genomics of adaptation, gene expression evolution, and the role of gene-by-environment interactions in phenotypic evolution. This position offers a unique opportunity to utilize diverse phenotypic and genomic datasets to understand the role of gene expression evolution in shaping phenotypic evolution within and between species in a premier mammalian model system. Required qualifications are a PhD in evolutionary biology, genetics, molecular biology, or closely related fields. Candidates must have excellent verbal and written communication skills, as well as an established record of productivity (e.g., at least one previous peer-reviewed publication). Candidates with a past record of publications in population genetics, molecular ecology, or genome biology are strongly preferred. Ideal candidates will have experience in generating and/or analyzing genomic data, performing comparative or population genomic analyses, and molecular wet lab experience. Contact: Interested individuals should first contact Katya Mack at katya.mack@ku.edu. Please include the following: (1) a cover letter addressing your interest in the position and how your expertise meets the position requirements, (2) a CV, (3) contact information for 3 references, (4) 1 representative publication. Candidate materials will be reviewed until the position is filled. Katya Mack (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
