Postdoctoral Research Associate:
A postdoctoral position in the general area of plant comparative genomics is available in our lab. Funds are available to support this position for up to three years. Applicants should have a strong background in DNA sequence analysis, molecular evolution, and/or bioinformatics. To apply, please send your CV and a brief statement of research interests to: jmburke@uga.edu.

Research Technician:
We currently have an opening for a Research Technician. The successful applicant will be involved in various aspects of our research, including DNA/RNA extraction, high-throughput genotyping, DNA sequencing, and data analysis. This individual will also be responsible for general lab management, including ordering supplies, maintaining equipment, supervising undergraduate researchers, and otherwise maintaining an organized lab.

Minimum qualifications are a Bachelor's degree in biology or a related field. Prior laboratory experience is desired, but not necessarily required. Perhaps the most important requirements are close attention to detail and good organizational skills. To apply, please send a resume and contact information for three references to: jmburke@uga.edu. Informal inquiries are also encouraged.

Graduate Research Opportunities:
Graduate student positions are available in our lab for highly motivated individuals interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in plant evolutionary genetics and/or genomics. Topics of interest include the evolution of crop plants, the ecological and evolutionary consequences of crop-wild hybridization, and speciation/hybridization in the wild.
