The Clark lab at Iowa State University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher who is broadly interested in plant systematics, morphology (including anatomy) and macroevolutionary questions using the grass family as a model system. Experience and interest in some or all of the following areas would be relevant: specimen-based research, geometric morphometrics and molecular phylogenetics. Duties include (1) managing the Clark lab and mentoring graduate or undergraduate students associated with it; (2) conducting research in the systematics and evolution of grasses, including analyzing and writing up existing data sets and participating in research collaborations; and (3) teaching an undergraduate course in plant systematics.

The initial appointment will be for one year from the date of hire, with the possibility of renewal beyond the initial term. Inquiries can be emailed to Lynn Clark (lgclark@iastate.edu) and should include a CV and a brief statement of research/career goals. Evaluation will begin July 1, but inquiries are still highly encouraged after that point. The position is at Iowa State University, a premier land-grant university, in the intellectually vibrant Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology.
