New position available: postdoctoral researcher in genome evolution
*Postdoc Opportunity Open to 7 March 2016* We have an excellent opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Glasgow’s Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health & Comparative Medicine (IBAHCM) in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS), working in the Evolutionary Analysis Group and the research team of Kathryn Elmer (http://www.gla.ac.uk/researchinstitutes/bahcm/staff/kathrynelmer/). We are seeking a motivated, creative and enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher for a project on ‘major evolutionary transitions’. The primary research effort will be on a NERC-funded project studying the molecular and genomic mechanisms underlying different reproductive modes (live-bearing vs egg-laying) in squamate lizards. Complementary projects on speciation, evolution and genomics in ‘ichs and herps’ are also possible. Bioinformatic experience and expertise in whole genome analysis and NGS data is imperative, ideally with relevant experience contributing t...
