Subject: Postdoc QMUL (London) - Ancient Genomics
Domestication
Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 08:54:24 -0600
Dear all,
A 24 month Postdoctoral Research Assistant position is available at Queen
Mary University of London (QMUL) in Dr. Laurent Frantz’s group,
investigating the evolutionary history of domestic animals using ancient
genomes.
Candidates for this position must have a strong experience in population
genomics, and ideally [but not necessarily] in ancient genomics. They
should have a PhD (awarded or reasonably expected to be awarded within 3
months) or equivalent qualification/experience in an area of molecular
evolution, genomics, bioinformatics or a related discipline. They will
engage with the analyses of ancient pigs, chickens (and potentially dogs)
genomes. A track record of peer-reviewed publications is essential.
The post holder will be integrated into Dr. Frantz’s group of several PhD
students/postdocs and work closely with the team of Prof. Larson
(University of Oxford). Potential projects involve analysing ancient pig
genomes to establish the spatial and temporal differences in the proportion
and genomic location of the incorporation of wild boar genes into domestic
stocks in order to assess how domestic pigs adapted to novel environments.
The post is funded by the NERC and is a full-time position. The start date
is mid-February or as soon as possible thereafter. The salary is dependent
on qualifications, skills and experience and is in the range of £31,613-
£36,098 per annum, inclusive of London allowance. Benefits include 30 days
annual leave and a pension scheme.
Candidates must be able to demonstrate their eligibility to work in the UK
in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006. Where
required this may include entry clearance or continued leave to remain
under the Points Based Immigration Scheme.
To apply: https://webapps2.is.qmul.ac.uk/...ob.action?jobID=5010
Application enquiries should be directed to l.frantzqmul.ac.uk
The closing date for applications is 21 February 2020. Interviews will be
held shortly thereafter.
Best,
Laurent.
