Postdoc Position in Myriapod Phylogenetics
Auburn University
Post-Doctoral Associate Position
Department of Biological Sciences, College of Sciences and Mathematics
A post-doctoral position in myriapod phylogenetics with an emphasis
on diplopod phylogenomics is available in the lab of Jason Bond in the
Department of Biological Sciences at Auburn University.
The focus of work in our lab is the study of arthropodevolutionary
diversification at multiple hierarchical levels. This 2-year
post-doctoral research associate position will be supported by an
NSF-funded project that has as its goal the reconstruction of millipede
family level relationships primarily using genomic data. The project will
include phylogenomics, classical comparative morphology, and extensive
bioinformatics analyses employing next generation sequencing data.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in arthropod
systematics (preferably myriapods), bioinformatics, phylogenetics, and
standard molecular lab and field collecting techniques. The position is
available for two years and includes benefits and a competitive salary;
the preferred start date is June 2014. To apply please email a CV,
letter of introduction, and contact information for three references
to jbond@auburn.edu.
