Postdoc Opportunities in Evolutionary Biology in Canada

Eawag’s Department of Fish Ecology and Evolution is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to investigate fish migration and life history variation in anadromous Arctic charr. The project examines how glacial inputs shape fjord environments and how these environmental differences influence the ecology, movement patterns, foraging, phenotypic divergence, and local distinctiveness of Arctic charr populations. The research will compare populations using glacial-fed and tundra streams, fjords influenced ...

The Zhang Lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for research at the intersection of bioinformatics, comparative genomics, structural analysis, and machine learning. The position is centered on independent computational research with an emphasis on protein bioinformatics, evolutionary analysis, and structural bioinformatics, alongside the development and application of machine-learning approaches. The fellow will contribute to manuscript and grant preparation, includin...

The Schultz Lab at Lehigh University is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to lead computational or hybrid wet-lab/computational research at the interface of genomics and evolution. The position centers on understanding the animal tree of life through comparative approaches that connect genome evolution, cell-type evolution, and phylogenomics. The successful researcher will contribute to projects spanning early animal evolution, deep-sea adaptations, methodological development for cros...

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute is offering a postdoctoral researcher fellowship through the Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program (SIFP) for research based at STRI in Panama. This award supports independent postdoctoral research in an internationally recognized tropical research environment. Fellows can conduct projects for 3 to 24 months , making this a flexible opportunity for researchers whose work benefits from access to STRI’s scientific setting and research community. The...

The STRI SIFP Biodiversity Genomics Postdoctoral Fellowship supports postdoctoral research at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Fellows join collaborative research at STRI and apply comparative genomic approaches to questions in biodiversity, evolution, and ecology. The project area includes phylogenetics, population genomics, metagenomics, and transcriptomics, with a clear emphasis on genomic methods for studying biodiversity. The fellowship is part of the Smithsonian Insti...

STRI Short-Term Fellowships offer a three-month introduction to tropical research at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. The scheme is designed to support researchers at different career stages, including undergraduates, master's students, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral researchers, in carrying out short research visits within STRI's tropical research environment. The fellowship is structured as a compact research stay that helps participants engage with tropical biology and...

The STRI D. Ross Robertson Research Award supports field research on the biology of living reef fishes in the Neotropics, with a focus on species found between 40 and 300 meters depth. The award is offered through the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama and is designed to help researchers carry out field-based work in a tropical marine setting. This opportunity centers on deep-reef fish research and the natural history, ecology, and distribution of living reef-fish communities. Awa...

The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute offers the Anthony G. Coates 3-Year Postdoctoral Fellowship for research across the broad range of fields practiced at STRI. This is a postdoctoral opportunity based in Panama, giving fellows access to a tropical research environment associated with one of the world’s leading institutes for field-based and interdisciplinary science. The fellowship is open to worldwide applicants and is designed for researchers whose work fits within STRI’s research are...

The STRI 3-Year TUPPER Postdoctoral Fellowship is a three-year postdoctoral opportunity hosted by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. It supports research in any field practised at STRI, giving fellows the freedom to pursue projects aligned with the institute’s broad tropical research mission. Fellows are based at STRI in Panama, working within an internationally recognised research environment focused on tropical science. The fellowship is designed for postdoctoral researcher...
