Post-Doctoral Position in the Sweigart Lab at the University of Georgia A post-doctoral position in evolutionary genetics is available in the lab of Andrea Sweigart in the Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia. Our lab is broadly interested in the genetics of speciation in the model flowering plant *Mimulus* (monkeyflower). Funded projects include: 1) Evolutionary/genetic investigation of hybrid seed failure across *Mimulus*, 2) Molecular genetic analysis of interspecific incompatibilities that cause hybrid sterility, and 3) Development of functional genetics to link genotypes with ecologically important phenotypes. The postdoctoral researcher would have opportunities to contribute to any of these ongoing projects, but would also be encouraged to develop new research directions. This position is ideal for someone with training or interest in quantitative genetics, population genomics, evolutionary ecology, and/or comparative genomics. We use computational and experimental approaches, and our studies often include a combination of genetic analysis, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and field experiments. The Sweigart lab values diversity and aims to create a welcoming and inclusive lab environment. We are located at the University of Georgia, which has an exceptionally strong group of plant geneticists and evolutionary biologists. Greenhouse, laboratory, and computational facilities are also excellent. UGA is located in Athens, a vibrant college town with a low cost-of-living, wonderful community spirit, and lively arts/music scene. There is also easy access to Atlanta and to diverse outdoor recreational opportunities (e.g. Great Smoky Mountains NP, Savannah/GA Coast, Okefenokee Swamp). The position is available for up to three years, with a $47,000 salary and full benefits. The position is available immediately, but the start date can be flexible for the right candidate. To apply, please email a CV, a brief statement of research accomplishments and future goals, and contact information for three academic references to: sweigart@uga.edu. Informal inquiries are very welcome. For more information about research in our lab, go to: http://www.genetics.uga.edu/sweigartlab. Andrea L.
