Position Overview
Position Summary
The lab of Fredric Janzen (http://www.kbs.msu.edu/research/labs/janzen/) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join us at the W. K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS), Michigan State University (http://www.kbs.msu.edu). The Janzen Lab leverages long-term population monitoring and expertise in theoretical modeling, quantitative genetics, and experimentation to understand the evolution ecology of a classic polyphenism β temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) β that occurs in many reptiles. In so doing, we also gain insight into phenotypic plasticity relevant to responses of imperiled taxa to anthropogenic habitat/climate change. We seek an experimental molecular biologist to work on collaborative projects exploring TSD as a model for developmental phenotypic plasticity.
The successful candidate will work collaboratively with the PI and lab team to develop a research program that integrates βomics-level analyses with existing expertise to eva...
