    Duties and Responsibilities:

    A Postdoctoral Fellow (""postdoc"") is a professional apprenticeship designed to provide recent Ph.D. recipients with an opportunity to develop further the research skills acquired in their doctoral programs or to learn new research techniques, in preparation for an academic or research career. In the process of further developing their own research skills, it is expected that Postdoctoral Fellows will also play a significant role in the performance of research at the University and augment the role of graduate faculty in providing research instruction to graduate students. A Postdoctoral Fellow works under the supervision of a regular faculty member, who serves as a mentor to the Fellow, and it is expected that the faculty mentor will impart the realities, and variety, of scientific careers, and will encourage experiences outside the laboratory to broaden postdocs' aspirations. Within the confines of the particular research focus assigned by that faculty member, the Postdoctoral Fellow functions with a considerable degree of independence and has the freedom (and is expected) to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment. Thus, the role of Postdoctoral Fellows is clearly differentiated from full-time technical employees.

    Postdoc appointments are characterized by all of the following conditions:

    * the appointee was recently (within the last eight years) awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.);
    * the appointment is temporary;
    * the appointment involves substantially full-time research or scholarship;
    * the appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic and/or research career;
    * the appointee works under the supervision of a faculty member; and
    * the appointee has the freedom and is expected to publish the results of his or her research or scholarship during the period of appointment.

    Applicants subject to criminal background check.
    The employee will report to Dr. Sarah Stellwagen and will be a senior memberof the Stellwagen Lab, supporting projects through original research, collaboration withother team members, and co-mentoring students. The employee's principal research responsibilities will be training and research using biological material data from silks produced by arthropods.The successful applicant will study the silk, silk adhesive, and behavior of Orfelia fultoni, a native bioluminescent fly species. This study aims to understand how environmental factors influence the evolution and material properties of natural biomaterials by tracking web building behavior, comparative transcriptomics, and biomaterial testing.Candidates for this position should have behavioral tracking and computational analysis skills, demonstrated experience in assembling and analyzing short-read data (e.g., Illumina) or long-read data (e.g., Oxford Nanopore), or a combination of these skills. Preference will be given to candidates familiarized modern visualization equipment and tracking software.
