Conservation Genomics Postdoc

Under the University of California, President’s Office Catalyst program,
a three-year award has been made for 1.75 million dollars to establish a
conservation genomics network among 6 campuses. The goal of the program
is to support research, develop new analytical tools, educate graduate
and post-graduate students via workshops, and interface with conservation
managers and planners as well as the general public.

We have support for a two-year post-doc beginning January 2017
(start date is flexible for the right candidate) at the University
of California, Merced to work on (1) adaptation to seastar wasting
disease and (2) conservation and adaptation to vernal pools in
invertebrates and plants. We are looking for a researcher with keen
interest in conservation genetics and with experience in relevant
wetlab protocols and strengths in bioinformatics. The postdoc
also will liaise with other conservation genetics network members
(https://ucconservationgenomics.eeb.ucla.edu/affiliations/) and assist in
project workshops and the educational mission of the program. Interested
researchers should have a recent PhD and contact mdawson@ucmerced.edu
& jsexton2@ucmerced.edu. Please send a one-page project plan, CV, and
cover letter with brief discussion of qualifications and goals.

Deadline for applications: 18 September 2016.
