The Everman Lab at the University of Oklahoma seeks applicants for a full-time postdoctoral researcher to study the effects of heavy metal exposure on gene expression and behavior in the Drosophila melanogastermodel system with a starting date of July 1, 2025. Research in the Everman Lab is focused on dissecting and characterizing the genetic relationship between physiological and behavioral responses to heavy metal stress. Our work leverages a combination of large mapping populations (such as the Drosophila Synthetic Population Resource and Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel) as well as D. melanogaster collected from wild populations from diverse habitats that have been undergoing continuous
