3. Postdoctoral Position
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowship:
The Weisrock Lab of the Biology Department in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Kentucky is looking for a full-time postdoc to join the lab and work on research related to ongoing phylogenetic and/or population genetic projects. Ongoing research projects in the lab include studying how hybridization and gene flow influence genome structure across a radiating clade of lemurs and developing conservation genetic tools for endangered newts. The hired postdoc would also have opportunities to participate in the development of new research projects. The Weisrock Lab research program comprises a broad range of interests, with no one major research focus, or taxonomic system. Generally, we use DNA sequence data to study patterns of genetic variation within and between species, and we use these data to learn more about the histories and processes that have shaped these patterns.
