Essential Job Duties | The VanWallendael Lab at North Carolina State University seeks a postdoctoral researcher to study the genomic changes underlying rapid evolution in agricultural weeds. Our new lab has the twin goals of better understanding evolution by studying weeds and improving weed control using evolutionary knowledge. The postdoc will have the opportunity to focus on the evolution of weedy traits in crop-related weeds, as well as monitoring genomic changes in wild weed and invasive species populations. Candidates should have interests related to these topics, but will have flexibility to investigate lines of inquiry specific to their research goals. The VanWallendael Lab is newly formed, so this postdoc will have the opportunity to work closely with the PI on projects and receive tailored mentoring. Though the lab is small, we are part of a large community of researchers in an excellent location for plant genetics, the Research Triangle. Our lab is affiliated with the Weed Science Program, the Plant Breeding Consortium, the Genetics Program, and is split between two departments: Horticulture and Crop and Soil Sciences. You may find more information about the VanWallendael lab here: https://avanwallendael.github.io/. Please contact Dr. Acer VanWallendael (avanwal@ncsu.edu) with further questions. Informal inquiries are welcome. At present, funding is available for up to two (2) years with possible extension contingent on grant funding availability. We specifically request applications from candidates whose backgrounds are traditionally underrepresented in biology. |
