Job Description:
A postdoctoral position is available in the Uyeda lab at Virginia Tech to work on novel phylogenetic comparative methods that integrate phenotypic ontologies with models of trait evolution. The Uyeda lab develops and applies phylogenetic comparative methods in a variety of empirical systems with the goal of connecting analysis of macroevolutionary patterns with a process-based understanding of evolution. Candidates will have opportunity to develop their own research projects and interests so long as they have overlap with the goals of the project. Experience with phylogenetics, comparative methods, programming, computational biology, Bayesian statistical modeling, and phenotypic ontologies are highly desirable. Required Qualifications: PhD in relevant field (evolution, organismal biology, statistics, computational biology, etc.) Preferred Qualifications:
