He currently has his own lab which researches drosophila and population genetics at Cornell University and is a member of a working group for the National Human Genome Research Institute.[4] He is also the co-author of Principles of Population Genetics, Mechanisms of Molecular Evolution, and Evolution at the Molecular Level.[5]

Career

Clark received a B.S. from Brown University in 1976, followed by a Ph.D. in population genetics from Stanford University in 1980.[2] He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Arizona State University and the University of Aarhus, before joining the faculty of Penn State University's Department of Biology.[2] Since 2002, he has been a professor at Cornell University. He was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1994, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 2012.[2] Clark's laboratory group researches genetic variation and adaptation using both human data and the laboratory model Drosophila melanogaster.

gollark: Why do I feel like my DE has spontaneously altered my fonts?
gollark: Do control via esobot still.
gollark: Yes, but they're all for somewhat expensive arbitrary country TLDs.
gollark: Not that low, sorry.
