The Ragsdale Lab at UW-Madison is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher. 
We have an opening in an NIH-funded (MIRA) postdoc position to work on 
the development and/or application of population genetics approaches for 
evolutionary inference.

There is quite a bit of flexibility in research focus. Possible projects 
include demographic inference in humans and hominins (in particular, the 
deep evolutionary history of both modern and archaic humans), inference 
of natural selection and selective interactions (such as dominance, 
epistasis, or background selection), and connecting selection on 
quantitative traits (e.g., stabilizing selection) to selection on 
trait-contributing variation in non-equilibrium demographic settings. 
Potential applicants with related interests in population genetics and 
evolution are encouraged to reach out via email with informal inquiries.

UW-Madison offers a vibrant and interactive research community in 
evolution, genetics and genomics (https://evolution.wisc.edu/). Quality 
of life in Madison, Wisconsin, is high, with excellent biking and public 
transit infrastructure, affordability, and ready access to both outdoors 
and urban activities. The position follows the NIH postdoc salary scale.

Informal inquiries are welcome and should be emailed to Aaron Ragsdale 
(apragsdale@wisc.edu), and more information about our lab and research 
can be found on our webpage (https://apragsdale.github.io/).

To apply, please email apragsdale@wisc.edu with your CV by August 31, 2024.
