University of Miami will soon have an opening for a postdoc.

The Wilson Group in the Department of Biology at the University of Miami
will soon have an opening for a postdoc.

Work in the Wilson Group focuses on symbiosis in sap-feeding insect
systems.  We ask questions about genome coevolution and host/symbiont
metabolic collaboration.  Current research is focused on amino acid
transport in the context of metabolic and developmental integration of
obligate intracellular symbionts and their insect hosts.

Recent publications from our group include:

Price, D. R. G., Feng, H., Baker, J. D., Bavan, S., Luetje, C. W., &
Wilson, A. C. C. (2014). Aphid amino acid transporter regulates glutamine
supply to intracellular bacterial symbionts. Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 111(1), 320¡V325.

Duncan, R. P., Husnik, F., McCutcheon, J. P., & Wilson,
A. C. C. (2014). Dynamic recruitment of amino acid transporters to the
insect/symbiont interface. Molecular Ecology, 23(6), 1608¡V1623.

Wilson Group PI, Alex Wilson is attending the Evolution 2014 meeting in
Raleigh, NC.  If you are interested in this opportunity and will be at
Evolution 2014 please contact Alex by email at acwilson@bio.miami.edu
to arrange a time to meet during the conference.
