A campus-wide minority postdoctoral fellow program was recently established at the University of Richmond, School of Arts and Sciences. We are trying to recruit someone to contribute to one of two NSF-funded projects that focus on molecular systematics of the Porifera and evolutionary, developmental, and ecological aspects of symbiosis involving sponges and their microflora. This position would be particularly attractive to someone considering a job at a primarily undergraduate institution that has strong research expectations. Approximately 75% effort would be placed on research, but meaningful teaching experiences would be acquired at a top tier liberal arts college. The ideal candidate will have strengths in one or more of the following areas: molecular ecology, evolution, development, and/or molecular phylogenetics. The post-doc would interact and collaborate with PIs April and Malcolm Hill who are committed to providing strong mentorship in all respects of the post-docs professional development. Interested parties should contact either April ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or Malcolm ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
