Postdoctoral Positions in Population and Landscape Genomics
We are seeking two postdoctoral researchers who will employ evolutionary
genomics to understand adaptation to climate variation. Projects will
focus on rainforest lizards and foundation species of Eucalypts, with
relevance to conservation and restoration strategies.
We intend to appoint 2 postdoctoral researchers to investigate genomic
signatures of adaptation to climatic variation. One appointee will
focus on adaptive divergence of populations of lizards in peripheral vs
central rainforest isolates, and the other on landscape genomics of two
Eucalyptus species (E. melliodora) and E. marginata that are the focus
of restoration efforts. Experience in bioinformatics and population
genomics inference is required, as is evidence of ability to conduct
and publish high quality research.
Further information on the projects can be found at
http://biology.anu.edu.au/craig_moritz/ (lizard project) and
borevitzlab.anu.edu.au (Eucalyptus project). Appointees will join large
dynamic labs and interact broadly through the Centre for Biodiversity
Analysis (cba.anu.edu.au) and the new Centre for Plant Energy Biology.
Enquiries from highly qualified candidates should be sent to
craig.moritz@anu.edu.au (lizard project) and Justin.borevitz@anu.edu.au
(Eucalyptus project). Each appointment will be for 2 years at ANU
academic level A8 ($79,294 p.a. plus benefits).

Please submit a CV, including names of three referees, and a letter

April 9th and the positions will remain open until filled.
