Postdoctoral positions in evolutionary or applied genomics at York University, Toronto, Canada

The honey bee lab (www.yorku.ca/zayedlab) at York University’s Dept. of Biology (Toronto, Canada) has several positions available for a postdoctoral fellow with demonstrable expertise in genomics and bioinformatics starting Fall of 2020.

 We have multiple projects available, ranging from pure research on the genetics and evolution of eusociality and colony level traits in insects, to a large Genome Canada funded project called BeeCSI to develop stressor-specific biomarkers for bees. We are also open to developing new projects based on mutual research interests.

 Qualified candidates are encouraged to submit a cover letter outlining their expertise, a CV, reprints of relevant papers, and contact information for 3 referees to honeybee@yorku.ca between now and October 2020. We will evaluate the applications as they are received.
