The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is seeking applications for a 2-year
postdoctoral position in the Population Biology Program of Excellence.

The goal of the Population Biology-POE Postdoctoral Fellowship is to
stimulate synergistic interactions between faculty and postdoctoral
scholars broadly interested in the area of Population Biology. We are
seeking applicants who have recently completed, or will soon complete,
their Ph.D. and who conduct cutting-edge research related to faculty
research areas in the Ecology, Evolution & Behavior (EEB) section in the
School of Biological Sciences (https://biosci.unl.edu/research-areas). POE
postdoctoral fellows pursue a research program under the sponsorship of
an EEB faculty member and are expected to enhance graduate education,
serve as a model for graduate students in career development,
and promote interactions among faculty at UNL. While in residence,
the postdoctoral fellow is expected to lead a seminar, symposium, or
outreach project that will appeal to Population Biologists across campus.
Research descriptions for past and current POE postdoctoral fellows can
be viewed at http://biosci.unl.edu/population-biology/.

The expected salary will be $45,000 per year. We anticipate notifying
the successful applicant by April 30, 2024, with an expected starting
date between August 1 and September 1, 2024.

EEB faculty at UNL are highly integrative and collaborative, using a wide
array of approaches and study systems to study a diverse set of biological
questions, from the molecular determinants of adaptation and speciation
to multimodal animal communication to the community ecology of extinct
mammals to the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. Lincoln is
consistently rated as one of the best places to live in America, with a
low cost of living, over 130 miles of bike trails throughout the city,
and a vibrant restaurant and music scene.

A Ph.D. in Biological Sciences or a related field is required by the
start date.

Review of applications will begin April 1, 2024 and will continue until
the position is filled.To apply, interested candidates should go to
https://employment.unl.edu, requisition F_240013. Click "Apply for
this Job" and complete the Faculty Academic/Administrative Information

be combined into a single document for upload.

In addition, please arrange for two recommendation letters from non-UNL
faculty and one recommendation letter from the UNL faculty sponsor (a
total of three letters) to be emailed to ccressler2@unl.edu. The research
proposal should be developed in collaboration with the proposed faculty
sponsor. Priority will be given to applicants who are new to UNL.
