JOB ANNOUNCEMENT
Postdoctoral Position in Molecular Ecology
Microsatellite Variation in Vermillion Snapper in the South Atlantic Bight
A two year postdoctoral position is available at the University of North
Carolina at Wilmington, beginning immediately. The successful candidate
will isolate microsatellite loci from the Vermillion snapper (Rhomboplites
aurorubens), a commercially important fish on the southeastern coast of the
U.S., and quantify allelic variation in these loci in populations from the
Gulf of Mexico to North Carolina. The successful candidate will also have
the opportunity to develop an independent project according to his/her
individual interests and abilities.
Requirements: Ph.D. or equivalent in population genetics, fisheries
ecology, molecular systematics, or related disciplines. Proficiency with
population genetic theory and/or with molecular biological techniques,
including cloning, library screening, PCR, and DNA sequencing is desired.
Salary: $24,000/year, with fringe benefits.
Application deadline: open until filled.
