Postdoctoral position in avian evolutionary genomics

The lab of Dr. Ben Winger in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary
Biology and the Museum of Zoology at the University of Michigan is
accepting applications for a postdoctoral scientist position in avian
evolutionary genomics.

We conduct research on diverse topics related to avian evolution and
evolutionary ecology. For this position, we are interested in a candidate
with experience in the collection and analysis of genomic data and
expertise in areas such as any of the following: genome evolution,
population genetics and historical demography, landscape and spatial
genetics, introgression and gene flow, and/or gene expression. The position
involves opportunities to advance ongoing collaborative projects, as well
as to develop new projects that leverage our current datasets and ongoing
data collection. The specific focus of the project will depend somewhat on
the experience and interests of the applicant, but will involve the
relationship between life history (especially seasonal migration) and
evolutionary processes such as gene flow, population differentiation, range
expansion and molecular evolution. We are mainly using North American birds
as a study system, but the research may involve other systems as well.

Critical to the success of the position will be the ability and desire to
work both independently and collaboratively with other members of the lab.
Duties may involve project coordination and development, analysis of
genomic data and bioinformatics, wet lab work (including preparation of
genomic libraries), training of graduate and undergraduate students, and
dissemination of results through manuscript writing and conference
presentations.

A successful applicant will have a PhD in evolutionary biology or a related
field prior to their start date, demonstrated success in publication of
original research, a passion for biodiversity, expertise in one or more of
the areas mentioned above, and a commitment to fostering a supportive and
inclusive work environment. Knowledge of avian biology and avian diversity
is desirable but not essential.

This Postdoctoral Fellowship is intended to be a two-year position, pending
a successful performance review after the first year.  Desired start date
is by September 2021. Applicants should send a letter (< 2 pages)
describing relevant experience, expertise and interests, a CV, and list of
three references to Dr. Ben Winger (win...@umich.edu) by February 19th,
2021.

More information on our lab and our research is at www.wingerlab.org and
our department at https://lsa.umich.edu/eeb and https://lsa.umich.edu/ummz.
