University of Richmond Minority Postdoctoral Position
ANURAN SYSTEMATIST
A campus-wide minority postdoctoral fellow program was recently established at the
University of Richmond, School of Arts and Sciences. We are trying to recruit a researcher
to contribute to an ongoing program on molecular systematics and phylogeography of
neotropical anurans. This position would be particularly attractive to someone considering
a job at a primarily undergraduate institution. The position has an expectation that
approximately 75%
effort would be placed on research, but meaningful teaching experiences would be
acquired at a top tier liberal arts college. The ideal candidate will have strengths in one or
more of the following areas: molecular systematics, phylogenetics, phylogeography and
biogeography. The post-doc would interact and collaborate with Rafael O. de Sá, who is
committed to providing strong mentorship in all aspects of the post-docs professional
development. Interested
parties should contact him (see below). For more information about the University of
Richmond Biology Department, see the web site shown below.
