BACKGROUND

A 2-year postdoctoral position is available immediately to conduct bioinformatic analyses. The incumbent will participate in two projects: 1) an NSF-funded project to study sex chromosome evolution in trees in the Salicaceae family, as well as 2) a DOE-funded project to study the population genomics of adaptive traits in Populus trees.

This position is based in the lab of Dr. Stephen DiFazio in the Department of Biology at West Virginia University's main campus in Morgantown (http://biology.wvu.edu/jobs/about_morgantown). The post-doc will be part of a collaborative team of geneticists and bioinformaticists at WVU and other institutions.

COMPENSATION

Salary will be commensurate with appropriate experience and the position includes health and retirement benefits (http://hr.research.wvu.edu/current-employees/benefits-overview).

HOW TO APPLY

Individuals interested in the position should send (1) a cover letter summarizing their research interests and expertise relevant to the position (2) a Curriculum Vitae, and (3) the names and contact information of at least three people who can provide recommendations.
