Post doc positions in evolutionary genomics Two post-doctoral researcher positions are available that will play key roles in delivering an exciting new 4-year multi-partner BBSRC research project focussed on understanding genome evolution following whole genome duplication (WGD, i.e. polyploidy) events across the Tree of Life (please see rediploidisation.org). The researchers, based at the Roslin Institute, will lead and deliver ambitious scientific objectives as part of a highly integrated multi-partner consortium, for example using cutting-edge comparative single cell transcriptomics and whole genome alignment approaches to reconstruct genetic and functional changes that follow WGD events in diverse eukaryotic taxa. One post focusses on comparative single cell transcriptomics and is available full-time (35 hours per week) for three years with potential for extension up to 4 years. This post will involve both lab work and bioinformatic analyses. One post focusses on bioinformatic analyses of genome evolution following whole genome duplication events. This post is available either full-time (35 hours per week) for two years (with potential for extension up to 3 years) or part-time (e.g. 0.5 FTE, 0.75 FTE) for a longer period, accommodating candidates seeking part-time working arrangements. Both posts will be based primarily on campus at the Roslin Institute; however, we are open to considering flexible working patterns (on a contractual basis) and requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combine a mix of remote and regular on-campus working. For informal enquiries, please get in touch with Professor Dan Macqueen (daniel.macqueen@roslin.ed.ac.uk) For more details about the project in which these post docs are embedded see https://www.rediploidisation.org/ For more information about Professor Macqueen's research group - see https://www.macqueenresearchgroup.com/ Please see the full advert and apply here: https://elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1001/job/11979 The salary for these posts is UE07 40,247 to 47,874 per annum (pro rata if part time).
