UCD Postdoctoral Researcher Level 2
Knowledge-driven genomic predictions for sustainable disease resistance in
wheat
Salary: €44,266 - 48,205 per annum
Appointment on the above range will be dependent on qualifications and
experience
The position is in the Animal and Crop Section at University College Dublin
and is part of a SusCrop ERA-NET European Grant to Improve genomic
selection accuracy for disease resistance using genomic prediction models.
This is a multidisciplinary project with more than 8 countries worldwide
involved. The labs works with several crop species (wheat, oat, barley) to
develop genomic prediction methods and integrate them optimally within
breeding schemes. We source tools from genomics, quantitative, statistical,
and population genetics, and from machine learning approaches.
We are looking for an enthusiastic researcher, with a clear interest in
quantitative genetics, plant breeding, application of new genomic
technology. The project addresses fundamental questions such as integration
and harmonization of datasets with different phenotypic and genotypic
properties, as well as to design training population to optimize long-term
response using genomic predictions. Experience with handling large
phenotypic and genomic data and an interest in quantitative genetic
concepts is a prerequisite. The successful candidate is expected to
contribute to ongoing genomics-related projects in our young
interdisciplinary research group.
Selection criteria
• PhD in one of the following subjects: statistics, animal or plant
breeding, human genetics, statistical genetics or evolutionary genetics.
• Programming in R, phyton or other languages.
• At least 2-3 years postdoctoral research experience
• Demonstrated understanding of operational requirements for a successful
research project and managing resources
• Knowledge and application of the principles underpinning successful grant
application
• Ability to identify and fulfill the academic writing requirements for
target publications
• Proven record of working with team members and PhD students to help build
their research skill and knowledge and to support and guide their
professional development
• Generates new ideas and links and builds upon existing ideas to generate
unique concepts and solutions
• The candidate should have a strong track record as a PhD student and/or
postdoc and show a keen and independent intellect.
• Be able to handle large data sets.
• Excellent communication skills (oral, written, presentation, etc.).
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills including a proven
ability to work to deadlines.
• Ability to work in a team of diverse scientists and multidisciplinary
teams.
• Evidence of research activity (publications, conference presentations,
awards) and future scholarly output (working papers, research proposals,
and ability to outline a research project.
• Candidates must demonstrate an awareness of equality, diversity and
inclusion agenda.
