<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The Forest Entomology and Symbiology team at the University of Florida (<a href="http://www.ambrosiasymbiosis.org">www.ambrosiasymbiosis.org</a>) is looking for two new colleagues:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">1 – <b>Postdoc in symbiont diversity</b>. We are looking for one- or two-year postdoc to work on a new NSF-funded project on a global characterization of symbioses between wood boring beetles, fungi, and bacteria
using metabarcoding, metagenomic and culturing approaches. Please submit your CV with emphasis on 1) publications (that is the most important criterion), 2) evidence of being an independent problem-solver and finisher, and 3) evidence that you really like
data-driven, quantitative, molecular research on organismal diversity. Experience with fungi or other small organisms is a bonus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">2 – <b>Collection and database curator</b>: We are also looking for a one- or two-year research assistant to manage and improve our large cryo-collection of beetle and fungus samples. Please submit your CV
with emphasis on 1) experience with serious data management, ideally using MS Access, 2) passion for biological collection curation, and 3) evidence of being an independent problem-solver and finisher.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Our team is young and fun, but also serious about being on the cutting edge of research on symbioses and on their significance to the world (<a href="http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/emergingthreats/">http://www.sfrc.ufl.edu/emergingthreats/</a>).
The University of Florida is the State’s research heavy-lifter and offers endless opportunities in scientific technology and collaborations. Gainesville is one of the best towns in the US to live in: educated, beautiful year-round, and with low cost of living.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
