The starting date for this one-year, term appointment is March 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointment may be extended for up to three years, contingent on demonstrated success and continued availability of funding. Situated in the Northwest Labs, the Desai lab actively investigates questions in evolutionary biology, population genetics, and quantitative genetics.
