Postdoctoral position

Use genomics approaches to determine interspecific and intraspecific variability in entomopathogenic nematodes, to explore the relationship between biodiversity and pest suppression in sustainable farming systems (e.g., Science 321:1488-1490; Nature 466:109-112). Applicants are expected to have outstanding molecular biology skills and experience in analyzing large-scale next-generation sequencing data sets; experience with entomology or nematology is not required. The holder of this exciting position will provide genomics data to complement large-scale, ecological field experiments, as one part of an interdisciplinary team. Start date is flexible, but ideally by summer 2012.
