Postdoctoral Researcher – Revisionary Insect Systematics
School of Life Sciences
Arizona State University

A postdoctoral position in revisionary insect systematics is available in
the Franz Lab (http://taxonbytes.org/), School of Life Sciences, Arizona
State University. We seek a candidate with an exceptional record of
training and achievement in morphology-based taxonomic revisions of insects
and a motivation to integrate their research with developing biodiversity
informatics concepts and tools. The taxonomic specialization within insects
is open and subject to coordination; however a training background
including weevils (Curculionoidea) or other beetle lineages (Coleoptera),
or motivation to transition to such taxa, is preferred. The Franz Lab is
involved in several biodiversity informatics initiatives (
http://taxonbytes.org/informatics/); therefore the creative integration of
revisionary research products with these and others initiatives is desired.
Excellent leadership, communication and student mentoring skills are also
sought. The preferred starting date is October 1st to December 1st, 2014,
and funds are available for up to three years pending suitable progress.
The position includes standard ASU benefits for postdoctoral researchers.

Applicants should send a cover letter describing their interests and
relevant experience, a Curriculum Vitae, and contact information of at
least three references to: Dr. Nico Franz, School of Life Sciences, Arizona
State University, PO Box 874501, Tempe, AZ, 85287-4501. E-mail:
nico.franz at asu.edu (e-mail applications preferred). Informal inquiries via
e-mail are strongly encouraged. The initial closing date for receipt of
applications is July 1st, 2014; applications will be reviewed every two
weeks thereafter until the search is closed.

A background check is required for employment. Arizona State University is
an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer committed to excellence
through diversity. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply (
