+ | After obtaining his Ph.D., Davidson stayed on at Rockefeller first as a research associate and then as an assistant professor. In 1971, he moved to the [[California Institute of Technology]] as an associate professor. There, Davidson took an interest in development of marine invertebrates, especially of the purple sea urchin [[Strongylocentrotus purpuratus]], and in investigating the function of genomic repetitive DNA elements, both interests of which would lead to a long line of investigation that eventually led to his contemporary interest in gene regulatory networks.<ref>{{cite book |title=Genomic Regulatory Systems: Development and Evolution |year=2001 |publisher=Academic Press}}</ref> |
