Postdoc Opportunities in Evolutionary Biology in Ireland

The Henn Laboratory at the University of California, Davis is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to work at the intersection of human genetics, population genomics, and evolutionary inference. The project brings together two connected research directions: selection-guided GWAS methods applied to underrepresented African populations using the Northern Cape Tuberculosis Cohort, and inference of adaptive evolution at HLA/MHC loci in admixed populations. The postdoc will contribute to a research program...

A postdoctoral scholar position is available in the Tarvin Lab in the Department of Integrative Biology and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. The project focuses on the genetic and physiological basis of kleptocnidy in nudibranch mollusks, a striking biological process in which these animals steal and store microscopic stinging structures (nematocysts) from their prey. The postdoc will work in a collaborative research environment that connects Berkeley’s...

Louisiana State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science (LSUMNS) and collaborate with Dr. Gregory Thom and members of the Department of Biological Sciences. The position is part of an NSF-funded project, A genomic-architecture-aware approach for resolving a taxonomically complete phylogeny of parrots . The researcher will lead computational genomic analyses to infer a phylogeny encompassing more than 700 parrot taxa using w...

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...
