College of Sciences & Engineering / School of Biological Sciences.

Full Time- 35 hours per week

Fixed Term Contract - 24 months.

The Opportunity:

We are looking for a skilled and motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the causes and consequences of sex-differences in recombination rates and landscapes. The award holder will integrate whole-genome, single-cell, and gamete-sequencing approaches from house sparrows in Helgeland in Norway, to understand fine-scale individual variation in recombination, the sex-specific genetic architectures associated with functional variation, and impacts of recombination on individual fertility. The award holder will join Susan Johnston’s lab in the dynamic Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Edinburgh, as part of a project funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC). Applicants must have a PhD (or to be completed in 3 months) in population genetics, quantitative genetics, and/or bioinformatics. The post requires experience in genomic analyses, creativity in problem solving, and strong communication and organisational skills. An understanding of the biology of meiotic recombination and inference methods using sequence and/or pedigree-based approaches is desirable. An overview of the laboratory can be found here: https://sejohnston.com/ and questions should be directed to [email protected]

This post is full-time (35 hours per week).
