School: Faculty of Arts and SciencesDepartment/Area: Organismic and Evolutionary BiologyPosition Description: The laboratory of Dr. Cassandra Extavour at Harvard University is looking for one or more collaborative, self-motivated Postdoctoral Associate in Cambridge, MA. The Extavour lab works on the evolution of development at many different levels of biological organization and scale. We seek to understand the evolutionary origins and modern functions of the genes that govern cell fate decisions during animal development. We often focus on the cell types that ensure that the evolution process can take place at all in multicellular organisms: the germ cells, that prod
