Announcement for General Biologist Position
(Molecular Systematist or Population Geneticist)
The U.S. Geological Survey-Biological Resources Division is seeking
applicants for the temporary (at least one year) position of General
Biologist to assist the Principal Investigator in molecular systematics and
population genetics research. Duties will include addressing molecular
systematics questions in selected at-risk fish (Family Percidae) and
freshwater bivalves (Family Unionidae). The successful applicant would
also be expected to contribute to ongoing studies into the conservation
genetics of Atl. salmon, Atl. sturgeon, brook trout, black bear, spotted
salamander, wood frog, bog turtle, horseshoe crab, and several unionid
species. Strong consideration will be given to applicants with a molecular
systematics or theoretical population genetics background. DNA-based
laboratory experience, particularly microsatellite marker development
and/or DNA sequencing, would be advantageous. The position is to be
located at the Leetown Science Center's Aquatic Ecology Laboratory,
Kearneysville, WV.
The position requires a minimum of a M.S. degree from an accredited college
or university with a research emphasis on phylogenetics and/or conservation
genetics. This position will provide a productive environment for someone
seeking post-doctoral experience. The salary, while somewhat negotiable,
is about $35,000 and includes such benefits as two weeks paid vacation, 10
paid government holidays, multiple investment options (e.g., 401K), and
