Seeking postdoc

The MacManes lab at the University of New Hampshire seeks to identify a senior grad student who is interested in working with me on an application to the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2015/nsf15501/nsf15501.htm), specifically in the “Broadening Participation” part of this program. The MacManes lab is interested in evolutionary genomics, and in particular in questions related to adaptation in non-model organisms. The individual would be free to develop her/his own project within this general theme, or to participate in an ongoing project (desert mouse genomics, poison dart frog genomics, etc). In addition, the lab is interested in genomic methods development, and more computationally-oriented applicants are encouraged to contact me. If interested please contact me via email (matthew.macmanes@unh.edu). For more info about the lab, please visit http://genomebio.org/. http://genomebio.org/opportunities/ People interested in pursuing a graduate degree in my lab should are strongly encouraged to apply for a NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Postdocs are encouraged to apply for any of the available NSF/NIH fellowships. I’m interested in advising people interested in working on:

Many aspects of genomics, including genome/transcriptome assembly, population genomics, evolutionary genomics, behavioral ecology, etc. Have an interesting project in mind??Contact me!
Specific Projects:
1. Pipeline development and development of computational algorithms to assess de novo transcriptome assembly
2. Any aspect of desert adaptation
3. Adaptation to extreme NH environments.
4. Phylogeograph-omics of Peromyscus eremicus.
