Job Opportunities

Postdoctoral Research Associate - Barden Lab

The Barden Lab (https://bardenlab.org/) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is soliciting applications for a one- to two-year salaried Postdoctoral Research Associate position focused on the evolution of social insects and comparative genomics. The position is linked to projects aimed at (1) understanding convergent trends in genome evolution across phylogenetically distant lineages and (2) integrating paleontological and molecular datasets to uncover evolutionary processes. In addition, there will be opportunities to develop independent projects as well as participate in ongoing lab initiatives including aspects of functional morphology, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and ecology with respect to extant and fossil insects. Research in the lab is fundamentally comparative and incorporates data from multiple species simultaneously to answer broad evolutionary questions. Potential candidates are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. Phil Barden to discuss potential projects and learn more (barden@njit.edu). Please consult the Jobs@NJIT website for more information on applying. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. The application period will be open until filled. 

Please check periodically for future opportunities.
