We seek to hire a creative and engagingscholar whose research leverages modern genomic tools to gain fundamental or appliedinsights into evolutionary processes. We seek candidates working on functional and/orevolutionary genomics in vertebrate systems, broadly defined. We are especially interested incandidates who link variation in genome organization and function to evolutionary outcomes bystudying themes that include but are not limited to mutation, recombination, gene duplicationand loss, structural variation (e.g., inversions, translocations, copy number variation),transposable elements, gene expression and regulatory evolution, and epigenetic modification.

Ideal candidates will apply integrative and innovative analytical approaches to inform therelationship between genome and phenome, other aspects of genome architecture, orbetween genomic variation and evolutionary processes such as hybridization, adaptation,introgression, or speciation. The successful candidate will contribute to training the nextgeneration of biology students in skills such as bioinformatics, genomics, and the analysis oflarge datasets.

This is a full-time (100% FTE), permanent, 9-month, tenure-trackfaculty position.
