Postdoctoral Associate in Marine Biogeography. With funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation I am seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to investigate patterns of species and genetic diversity in coastal marine environments, and to discover and test the mechanisms that drive this diversity and allow it to persist. Postdoc will work with an integrated, interdisciplinary team to develop and examine large datasets of species and genetic distributions. Work will draw heavily on the fields of oceanography, genetics, and population ecology. Postdoc will work closely with Jeb Byers, and also my collaborator Jamie Pringle (UNH). Programming experience (R or Python) and a background in biogeography are important qualifications. Candidate is expected to exhibit collegial attitude, strong motivation, and good writing skills. Position is based at the University of Georgia. The postdoc position is funded for 24 months, contingent upon positive performance review after year one. Potential applicants are encouraged to see https://jebyers.ecology.uga.edu/join/ for more information on this position. 

For more information on the Byers lab, see: https://jebyers.ecology.uga.edu/. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but please ensure all materials (including letters of recommendation) are submitted by April 1, 2026 to be considered in the first round of review. Start date of position is July 1, 2026. The University of Georgia is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution. 

In addition to the biogeography database projects, there is an opportunity to spend 20% time working on empirical field-based estuarine projects. If this is of interest, please mention this in your application, and elaborate on what research questions you might like to pursue in this vein. 

Application guidelines:

The Young Innovative Investigator Program (YIIP) is a 2-year program of The Cato T. Laurencin Institute for Regenerative Engineering which aims to develop the next generation of innovative scientists by providing academic training to individuals dedicated to pursuing careers as scientists and scholars in biological and biomedical science. The program is specifically focused on recruiting underrepresented students to contribute towards developing a sustainable pipeline to increase diversity among the pool of academic scientists. YIIP provides tools for scholars to conduct research, succeed in an academic environment, and become competitive candidates for medical school and/or graduate school. YIIP Scholars will acquire the expertise necessary to obtain a Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., or M.D.

Overview:
YIIP is an intensive research program for college graduates comprised of graduate level coursework and mentored research in biomedical laboratories at the University of Connecticut (Farmington and Storrs campuses). It provides individualized mentorship, academic support, and career guidance. YIIP Scholars earn a stipend and qualify for health insurance coverage. In addition, some tuition expenses and fees associated with required graduate level courses are waived. Upon successful completion of year one, scholars obtain a Graduate Certificate of Research Experience in Biomedical Science. In year two, Scholars who meet the academic qualifications pursue a Master of Science in Biomedical Science involving innovative mentored research.

Eligibility:

The selection committee is committed to the principle of IDEAL, which stands for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Anti-racism, and Learning, as a plan to achieve justice and equity. A priority for the program is increasing (1) individuals traditionally underrepresented and marginalized in the biomedical sciences and (2) first-generation students.
