Postdoc: Phylogenomics & Morphology for Vector Biology

University Services University of the Health Sciences; Bethesda (MD); Vor Ort; USD 55.000 - 75.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

University Services University of the Health Sciences invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to advance an NSF-funded framework integrating phylogenomics, morphology, and ecology in Anopheline mosquitoes.

The role leads genomic assembly, phylogenomic inference, 3D morphometric analysis, and environmental niche modeling, with co-authorship on multiple manuscripts. This is an integrative, potentially career-launching position for a scientist interested in public health entomology.

Qualifikationen

• Doctoral degree in evolutionary biology, entomology, phylogenetics, bioinformatics, ecology or closely related field.
• 0–5 years of postdoctoral experience preferred.
• Experience with mosquito taxonomy, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.

Aufgaben

• Lead genomic assembly and phylogenomic inference.
• Contribute to 3D morphometric trait extraction and environmental niche modeling.
• Co-lead peer-reviewed manuscripts across multiple aims.
• Mentor students and collaborate across teams.
