[ECOLOG-L] Postdoctoral position: landscape genetics of Hawaiian fishes
Postdoctoral Position in Landscape Genetics of Hawaiian Fishes A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the Blum Lab (www.tulane.edu/~mjblum) in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Tulane University. The incumbent will engage in DoD funded research on the landscape genetics and biogeography of amphidromous fishes native to the Hawaiian Islands. The research focuses on (1) development and use of genetic tools for assessing aquatic environmental condition of oceanic island stream ecosystems (2) assessing metapopulation dynamics and phylogeography of amphidromous fishes across the Hawaiian archipelago and (3) comparing genetic assays of dispersal with estimates based on otolith microchemistry. The incumbent will be encouraged to develop additional research areas that complement these set objectives. Preference will be given to candidates possessing in-depth knowledge of molecular techniques and field based studies of stream fishes. An initial appointment will be for one year, with continuation for at least one additional year dependent upon performance. A start date of August 1 2009 or a mutually agreeable date in late Summer 2009 is strongly preferred. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications. Send via email attachment a letter of application, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and names and addresses of three references to Dr. Michael Blum at mjb...@tulane.edu .Tulane University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Employer. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply.
