Hi EvolDir: I am hiring a post doc to work on social insect evolution, particularly caste evolution in ants. See the ad below and at the following link: https://careers-usu.icims.com/jobs/8162/postdoctoral-fellow-ii---biology/job The Smith Lab at Utah State University is seeking to hire a post-doctoral scholar to collaborate on projects in ant social evolution, and to establish their own line of research. Current projects include Osiris gene family evolution and function in phenotypic plasticity of insects; nutritional drivers of ant caste evolution; and understanding the evolution of social traits in the worker castes of ants. This position is also expected to collaborate with and/or mentor graduate students and undergraduate students in research. Professional development, including teaching (and mentorship in teaching), will be available as part of this position. The post-doc will also be encouraged to develop independent lines of inquiry from those currently in the lab. The appointment will last for 2 years, but extensions for teaching are possible (dependent on availability).
