Genomics and Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship

Joint Biodiversity Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Living Earth Collaborative and the McDonnell Genome Institute

The Living Earth Collaborative, a consortium comprised of Washington University, the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Saint Louis Zoo, and the Washington University McDonnell Genome Institute are partnering to advance the use of genomics for biodiversity research and conservation. As part of this collaboration, we seek to hire a postdoctoral fellow with a proven track record utilizing genomic and computational tools in biodiversity research and conservation.

The Postdoctoral fellow will play an important role in developing a portfolio of genomic projects from principal investigators at the LEC partner institutions on diverse topics, which may include ecology, conservation, conservation veterinary medicine, environmental justice, behavior, evolution and One Health. The fellow is expected to be an integral part of the Living Earth Collaborative participating in and organizing events and interacting with the diverse LEC and MGI communities.
