The ideal candidate would use vertebrate models and incorporate modern genomic and biochemical approaches to resolve questions such as 1) how developmental pathways are altered by evolutionary processes, leading to new structures and features, 2) how intricate interactions of genes and molecular pathways, known as gene regulatory networks, guide development, and 3) how these pathways evolved in different organisms \u2013 including common and divergent mechanisms. The successful applicant is expected to establish a rigorous research program supported by extramural funding, generate peer-reviewed scholarship, mentor and advise graduate students, effectively teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels (focus on cell biology, genetics, evolution, developmental biology, and genomics) and engage in service activities.
