Postdoc – Butterfly Wing Pattern Evo Devo, Cornell University

The Reed Lab (reedlab.org) in the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University is looking to hire a Postdoctoral Associate to work on the evolution and development of butterfly wing patterns.

The successful candidate will play a leading role in conducting experimental and comparative work to understand how changes in gene regulatory elements underlie butterfly wing pattern evolution and/or seasonal plasticity. They will be expected to come to the position having some experience in both computational and bench approaches but can be trained in molecular methods such as RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, and CRISPR genome editing.

This position formally begins as a one-year appointment and is renewable for up to five years contingent upon funding, available work, and annual performance reviews. Applicants will be reviewed on a continuing basis until the position is filled. The start date is flexible, but ideally would be some time between now and mid-2027.
