POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
RECONSTRUCTING THE EUKARYOTIC TREE OF LIFE
SMITH COLLEGE

A Postdoctoral Research position is available to participate in an NSF-ATOL
collaborative project entitled: "Assembling the Tree of Eukaryotic Diversity
through Analyses of Microbial Eukaryotes."

The aim of this project is to reconstruct the eukaryotic tree of life
through analyses of at least 10kb of sequence data from ~200 eukaryotic
microbes.

Applicants should have experience in molecular systematics, bioinformatics,
microbiology and/or molecular evolution.  A postdoc on this project will
also have opportunities to work closely with collaborators at the Marine
Biological Laboratories, the American Type Culture Collection and the
University of Iowa (see http://www.eutree.org).  The position is available
as of this spring, though there is some flexibility in start date, and will
last at least two years.

To apply, please send a c.v. and the names of two referees to:
