> Postdoctoral Position in Evolutionary Population and Comparative Genomics
> 
> A postdoctoral position is available to work on an NSF-funded project in
> the laboratory of Professor Carol Lee, in the Department of Integrative
> Biology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
> 
> This project focuses on Rapid Evolutionary Responses to Global
> Change using the copepod Eurytemora affinis species complex as a model
> system. With changes in global climate, coastal high latitude waters are
> experiencing rapid declines in salinity, due to increases in ice melt
> and precipitation. We have found evolutionary shifts in ion transport
> function, genome-wide gene expression, and population genomic signatures
> of selection associated with changes in salinity (see pubs in the links
> below). This postdoc project will entail conducting comparative genomic
> and population genomic analyses associated with temperature and salinity
> change in wild and laboratory populations.
> 
> The E. affinis complex presents an exemplary model, with its short
> generation time (20d), ease of culturing large numbers (thousands
> per population), and ability to generate inbred lines. The Lee Lab
> is generating multiple full reference genomes (PacBio and Oxford
> Nanopore) from the E. affinis species complex to the chromosome level.
> Additionally, the multiple independent environmental clines have enabled
> us to observe exceptional cases of parallel polygenetic adaptation
> (to the level of SNPs).
> 
> The ideal candidate should hold a Ph.D. and have publications in
> peer-reviewed journals. A background in evolutionary genetics is
> required, especially in population genetics/genomics or comparative
> genomics. Relevant areas of expertise include molecular evolutionary
> genetics, computational and programming skills, and statistics.
> 
> Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue
> until the position is filled. The appointment could persist for up
> to three years. Interested candidates should email their application
> to Prof. Carol Lee (carollee at wisc.edu <mailto:carollee at wisc.edu>), including: (1) a CV, (2) a
> cover letter describing qualifications and relevant experience, (3)
> a list of references (recommenders), and (4) samples of first authored
> publications. Enquiries regarding this position are most welcome.
> 
> The University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a large and intellectually
> vibrant community of evolutionary/population biologists, providing
> ample opportunities for interaction with excellent scientists (see
> https://evolution.wisc.edu/people/faculty/ <https://evolution.wisc.edu/people/faculty/>) and first rate departments of
> Statistics and Biostatistics, computational facilities, and a Biotech
> Center. Madison is a culturally-rich community, in relative close
> proximity to Chicago.
