Announcing a postdoctoral position in

Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity

in the Department of Plant Biology
at the University of Minnesota.

Generous support from the David and
Lucille Packard Foundation is available
for postdoctoral research in the broad area
of evolutionary biology and biodiversity.
Candidates are expected to contribute to
an existing project in the Weiblen lab and
to develop a line of independent research.
Interests in the lab group are diverse and
currently include:

- Comparative phylogenetic studies of
plant/insect coevolution, particularly the
fig/pollinator mutualism
- Molecular phylogenetics and character
evolution in the mulberry family (Moraceae)
- Genetics of sex expression in hemp
- Host specificity of insect herbivores
feeding on tropical trees in New Guinea
- Floristics in New Guinea
- Comparative methods in community ecology

Applicants should indicate an interest in
one or more of these topics in a cover letter.
This flexible position  enables postdocs
to pursue their own interests in parallel.
Starting date in Spring/Fall 2003 is
negotiable. Please send a cover
