Post-doctoral Fellowships
In Evolutionary Genomics and Molecular Evolution
Description:
The Center for Evolutionary Genomics at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy is pleased to announce the continuation of its Post-doctoral Fellowships in Evolutionary Genomics and Molecular Evolution. This Fellowship provides an annual salary of $37,500 plus benefits and additional funds for research per year for a two-year period. The program allows Fellows to pursue research in the laboratory of a sponsoring faculty member affiliated with the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy. One Fellowship will be awarded this year.
We invite innovative proposals from scientists of any nationality to carry out research at Duke University for a two-year appointment beginning in the fall of 2007. We are particularly interested in proposals that address mechanisms of molecular evolution, comparative genomics, and the evolution of development. Proposals focused exclusively on building phylogenies will not be considered, although the application of phylogenetic approaches to analyzing the evolution of genes and genomes is certainly appropriate. Faculty sponsors can be located within any department or school at Duke University; the only stipulation is that the project fall within the areas of research listed above.
Please submit curriculum vitae, a three-page research proposal (not counting literature cited), and a one-page summary of past research, and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be sent to: Evolutionary Genomics, c/o Jennifer Foreman, Department of Biology, Box 90338, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0338, USA, or emailed to Jennifer.Foreman@duke.edu. Electronic submissions are preferred, although not required. Applications received by 1 June 2007 will be guaranteed full consideration.
Questions can be directed to Greg Wray by email (gwray@duke.edu). For information about the Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy and the Center for Evolutionary Genomics at Duke University, visit www.genome.duke.edu.
