Post Doctoral Research Associate in Evo-Physiology

Description:

The Suissa lab in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK) is seeking a highly motivated and integrative postdoctoral research associate to join the lab (https://www.botaneelab.com/ ). This is a full-time position focused on exploring seed-free plant hydraulics through space and time. The successful candidate will lead a research team exploring the structure, function, and evolution of vascular architecture in seed-free plants. The candidate will use physiological methods to determine drought tolerance and anatomical and histological methods to explore structure and development across seed-freed vascular plants. Candidates are expected to work collaboratively, leading a team of students to answer their questions. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to contribute to grant writing and outreach activities. There will be ample opportunities for mentoring and connecting with members of the EEB community.
