OPPORTUNITY

Asst. Professor, Evolutionary Biology-Univ of Maine

The School of Biology and Ecology seeks a plant evolutionary biologist for an academic year, full-time, tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level. We are interested in a broadly trained scientist who integrates ecological and whole-plant level investigations with cellular and/or molecular approaches to questions in plant adaptation, systematics and speciation, conservation, and/or domestication.

Ph.D. Assistantship- Plant Genomics, Boise State University

A position is available for a Ph.D. student to investigate the impact of abiotic and biotic factors on the diversification of flowering plants by using the species-rich and ecologically important genus Piper as a model. This research will focus on three evolutionary forces: i) climate, i) pollination (a mutualistic process benefiting both the plant and its partner) and iii) plants' chemical defense (an antagonistic process developed to counteract insect herbivory).

Ph.D. Assistantship- Plant Systematics, Boise State University

A position is available for a Ph.D. student to study the phylogenetics and systematics of Piper section Enckea (Piperaceae). The section comprises ~60 species from the Amazon to Mexico and the Caribbean Islands, consisting of shrubs to small trees. This project will investigate the molecular phylogenetic relationships of one of the earlier branching lineages in the genus using a combination of next generation sequencing data, morphology, and biogeography.
