Postdoctoral Researcher Revisionary Insect Systematics School of Life Sciences Arizona State University A postdoctoral position in revisionary insect systematics is available in the Franz Lab (http://taxonbytes.org/), School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University. We seek a candidate with an exceptional record of training and achievement in morphology-based taxonomic revisions of insects and a motivation to integrate their research with developing biodiversity informatics concepts and tools. The taxonomic specialization within insects is open and subject to coordination; however a training background including weevils (Curculionoidea) or other beetle lineages (Coleoptera), or motivation to transition to such taxa, is preferred. The Franz Lab is involved in several biodiversity informatics initiatives (http://taxonbytes.org/informatics/); therefore the creative integration of revisionary research products with these and others initiatives is desired. Excellent leadership, communication and student mentoring skills are also sought. The preferred starting date is October 1st to December 1st, 2014, and funds are available for up to three years pending suitable progress. The position includes standard ASU benefits for postdoctoral researchers.
