<p class="MsoNormal">The Renner lab at The Pennsylvania State University is hiring a Postdoctoral Scholar in the area of evolutionary genomics. This particular position is focused on resolving taxonomic relationships, elucidating the genomic architecture underlying biochemical
diversity, and identifying adaptations for arthropod prey digestion using phyla/comparative genomics among the carnivorous plants within Caryophyllales. Specific projects will be developed in conjunction with the incumbent`s skill set and research interests.
The candidate must have broad knowledge of systematics, molecular evolution, and molecular biology. Candidates that have experience with phylogenomics and functional/comparative genomics will be highly considered. Experience with the generation, handling,
and downstream analyses of next-generation sequencing data is also highly desirable, as is familiarity with computer programming/scripting in Python, Perl, Java, C++, R or other language. <br>
<br>
Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD in Evolutionary Biology, Plant Ecological Genetics, Plant Systematics, Plant Biology, Molecular Evolution or related field. Excellent oral and written communication is essential, as the candidate will be responsible
for writing publications, contributing to proposals, and presenting research at local, national, and international scientific conferences. Additionally, the candidate will train and mentor graduate students, undergraduate students, and work with a diverse
team of researchers. This is a fixed-term position for one year from date of hire, with an excellent possibility of extension for an additional year.<br>
<br>
Interested candidates should formally apply for the position online (<a href="https://psu.jobs/job/73959">https://psu.jobs/job/73959</a>). As part of the process, please upload your CV, at least two letters of reference, and a 2-3 page written description of
previous research experience or statement of research. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.<br>
<br>
For more information, please contact Tanya Renner, Assistant Professor, Department of Entomology, Penn State University, <a href="mailto:trenner@psu.edu">trenner@psu.edu</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
