>Subject: Graduate position & Postdoc position: Evolutionary ecology of plant-microbe symbiosis
>
>The Porter lab at Washington State University, Vancouver, is recruiting a graduate student and postdoc.
>
>Our lab explores the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of plants and their microbial symbionts to test fundamental theory about cooperative interactions.
>We focus on environmentally acquired symbioses between plants and microbial mutualists such as nitrogen-fixing rhizobium bacteria. Our research projects range from the field, to the lab to the greenhouse and integrate approaches from quantitative genetics, ecological genetics and genomics.
>
>Graduate student & postdoc will have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative multi-year NSF-funded project with the Friesen lab at Michigan State University to investigate evolutionary and ecological shifts in plant-symbiont mutualism during plant invasions from Europe
>
>There will be intellectual freedom to pursue novel projects as well as the opportunity to collaborate on ongoing Porter lab research on the Medicago-Ensifer model invasion biology system, including plant and bacterial population genomics, quantitative genetic cross-inoculation experiments in the greenhouse, and/or studies of ecological dynamics in the field.
>
>Washington State University, Vancouver is a vibrant, rapidly growing institution
>(http://cas.vancouver.wsu.edu/science-graduate-programs/faculty-research)
>located in the greater Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area in the US, near the Columbia River, Cascade Mountains and coastal ocean, and as such offers an exceptional quality of life.
