Subject: [Coral-List] Post-Doc opportunity on octocoral taxonomy, phylogenetics and biogeography
Post-doc position on octocoral taxonomy, phylogenetics and biogeography
We invite applications for a full-time position as post-doctoral research fellow at the School of Zoology, George S. Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University for a period of two years. The post-doc will be based at TAU and will be an integral participant in a joint project funded by the NSF-BSF, entitled: "The Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate octocorals: an integrated approach to species delimitation, phylogenetics and biogeography". The project is lead by Prof. Hudi Benayahu (TAU) and Prof. Cathy McFadden (Harvey Mudd College, CA, USA). For further details see https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.researchgate.net/project/The-Indo-Pacific-zooxanthellate-octocorals-an-integrated-approach-to-species-delimitation-phylogenetics-and-biogeography__;!!HXCxUKc!lU2LcowYKrx1Bp5T-0S0iMXU3MF9kUdWLUBtc9C1wHI7Z5srIaxuTOlCMmWPVJB_tQ$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.researchgate.net/project/The-Indo-Pacific-zooxanthellate-octocorals-an-integrated-approach-to-species-delimitation-phylogenetics-and-biogeography__;!!HXCxUKc!lU2LcowYKrx1Bp5T-0S0iMXU3MF9kUdWLUBtc9C1wHI7Z5srIaxuTOlCMmWPVJB_tQ$> .
The post doc will oversee morphological taxonomic work; travel to European museums to examine and sample type material; assist with mentoring M.Sc. and undergraduate research students; and participate in planned workshops and field trips. S/he will also visit the McFadden lab to learn genetic and bioinformatic aspects of the project, and will subsequently transfer the knowledge and skills gained back to Benayahu's lab.
