Post-doctoral researcher

We seek a creative, analytically-minded individual to spearhead an NSF-funded project that aims to identify genetic and metabolomic mechanisms underlying the evolution of pheromones. The research will involve genetic manipulation of Drosophila, fine tissue dissection, and metabolite analysis using mass spectrometry. Experience with analyzing and synthesizing large "-omic" data sets, biochemical purification, and the use of comparative evolutionary approaches is desired. There will be opportunities to go on field excursions in Hawaiʻi, collaborate with other on-going projects involving metabolite analysis, and attend national or international conferences.
