POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
University of Notre Dame
POPULATION GENETICS OF SPECIES' RANGE BOUNDARIES
A postdoctoral research position is available in the Hellmann Lab
(Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame) to
study the genetics of populations at their northern range limit. I
am looking for someone well-versed in molecular techniques who is
interested in bringing genetic studies to bear on issues of global
change and applied ecology. The position is to join a multi-faceted
research project examining both the ecological and evolutionary
impacts of climate change on the distributional limits of two model
butterflies species. This research grows out of previous studies by
Dr. Hellmann on the impacts of climate change in grassland ecosystems
(for example, see: Hellmann, J. 2002. J An Ecol 70:925-936;
McLaughlin, J., Hellmann, J., Boggs, C., and P. Ehrlich. 2002. PNAS
99:6070-6074). Our current research examines the hypothesis that
differences in life history traits lead to distinct patterns of gene
flow across a species' range and that taxa with contrasting genetic
structures will respond differently to climatic warming. Mechanistic
studies of species' range shifts are an emerging area of global
change biology that is highly policy-relevant. This position offers
an opportunity for a geneticist to join ecologists in tackling this
novel area of applied research.
The successful candidate must demonstrate an intellectual
commitment to research in applied biology and is expected to pursue
both independent research and molecular assessments of gene flow.
Marker development for this project will build on systematic and
evolutionary work pursued by other lepidopteran researchers. Exactly
which markers and techniques will be used will depend on the mutual
interests of the successful candidate and the PI. The position has
guaranteed funding for two years. Resources available in the pursuit
of this research include a strong molecular genetics faculty within
the biology department at Notre Dame.
This position is open until filled. Salary is commensurate with
experience. Applicants should send a brief letter describing their
prior research experience and current interests, a curriculum vitae,
and the names and contact information of three references to:
Jessica Hellmann, Assistant Professor, Department of Biological
Sciences, 107 Galvin Life Science Center, University of Notre Dame,
Notre Dame, IN 46556 (fax: 574-631-7413; email: hellmann.3@nd.edu).
