| Position Description: |
| Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in Chemical Ecology at Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University. Information on the Agrawal Lab can be found at www.herbivory.com. This position is part of a NSF project testing hypotheses about phytochemical diversity, specificity of chemically-mediated interactions, and impacts of milkweed’s cardiac glycosides on insect physiology and fitness. Substantial room for creative directions are possible as part of this project. Research will be in the laboratory and field, based on interactions between specific plant toxins and their impact on root-feeding beetles, leaf-feeding caterpillars, and seed-feeding bugs. Experience with mechanistic approaches in chemical ecology and a strong conceptual foundation in evolutionary ecology is desired. We seek a highly interactive and collaborative scientist. Please upload a single cover letter / statement of interest (2 pages max), CV, list of references, diversity statement (1 page, including your experiences, efforts, and future plans to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion), and 2 publications by 15 July 2019 to https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/13821.
