Postdoc Opportunities in Evolutionary Biology in United States

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...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences and the Center for Marine Ecological Genomics at Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center in Nahant, Massachusetts. The successful researcher will join the Lotterhos Lab and contribute to MacroMar, an international consortium building an interoperable database of population genomic data. The project centers on evolutionary genomics and large-scale synthesis. The postdoc will lead comparative and syn...

The Urban Evolutionary Entomology Laboratory at Virginia Tech is seeking a postdoctoral associate to study how pest insects establish, persist, adapt, and potentially go extinct in urban environments. The project sits at the intersection of evolutionary genetics, population genomics, and urban ecology, with an emphasis on understanding the genomic mechanisms that shape highly inbred populations living in anthropogenic landscapes. The research program includes themes such as the evolution of inse...

The Mazo-Vargas laboratory in Duke University’s Department of Biology is seeking a part-time Research Associate to support next-generation sequencing projects focused on Lepidoptera developmental genetics and evolution . The role is centered on sequencing-based research and data workflows. The successful candidate will prepare and evaluate RNA-seq , ATAC-seq , and ChIP-seq libraries, carry out quality control and genomic data analysis, maintain clear experimental and computational records, and c...

This postdoctoral associate position is based in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The project centers on comparative and experimental studies of gene regulatory networks that shape color pattern plasticity and evolution in butterflies . The successful candidate will investigate how changes in regulatory DNA and gene activity contribute to butterfly wing-pattern diversity. The work combines comparative biology wit...

University of California, Irvine is advertising occasional postdoctoral scholar positions in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology within the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences . This opening is for researchers interested in work across ecology and evolutionary biology, with appointments sponsored by faculty members in the department. The advert describes a general postdoctoral scholar series rather than a single fixed project, so successful candidates may join ongoing res...

Tarleton State University is inviting applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biological Sciences at its main campus in Stephenville, Texas, United States. The postdoctoral scholar will contribute to research in quantitative ecology, meta-analysis, statistics, plant ecology, and evolutionary biology. The hosting laboratory studies the evolutionary and functional ecology of plants from basic and applied perspectives, with particular emphasis on how native plants adapt to g...

Texas A&M University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Biology in College Station, Texas. The researcher will investigate the genetic basis of phenotypic variation using Drosophila as a model system. The laboratory studies how structural variants, repetitive DNA, and other forms of genetic variation influence gene regulation, genome function, and organismal traits. Research may combine molecular biology, genetics, functional genomics, population genomics, pangenom...
