organisms to their natural environment by combining functional genomic and
ecological/evolutionary approaches.  The postdoctoral fellow will have
access to excellent university resources including the Konza Prairie
Biological Station, a core Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site
(www.climate.konza.ksu.edu), the K-State Gene Expression Facility
(www.k-state.edu/gene-exp), and infrastructure of the Division of Biology
and Departments of Entomology, Agronomy and Plant Pathology.  For additional
information about the Ecological Genomics Institute please visit the Ecogen
website!



Candidates must have excellent oral and written communication skills,
demonstrate evidence of past research achievement, and have completed
requirements for a Ph.D. by the start date. This full-time position provides
a competitive salary and benefits. The anticipated start date is summer
2008.



Full applications must include:

1. A cover letter detailing your qualifications and proposed start date.

2. A research proposal (three page maximum, not including references).
*Proposals utilizing genetic and/or genomic approaches to examine
ecologically relevant traits or interactions will receive highest priority.

3. A current curriculum vitae.

4. Two letters of recommendation from referees who are familiar with the
applicant's research.  Major advisor or members of supervisory committee
preferred.
