Postdoctoral Researcher in Evolutionary Ecology
Duke University
Durham, NC

A Postdoctoral Researcher is wanted to participate in an NSF funded project on the evolutionary ecology of germination and life histories in Arabidopsis thaliana. The project involves fieldwork and lab experiments that investigate the genetic basis of germination responses to seasonal environmental cues and natural selection on loci associated with life-history variation. Results will be integrated in a mathematical model to predict life cycles of different genotypes in different seasonal environments. The position requires a motivating interest in evolutionary ecology and genetics and a successful publication record. Experience with mathematical modeling is preferred. Available as early as 1 December, 2012. One year, subject to renewal. Competitive salary and full Duke benefits. Duke University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
