The SUNY Oswego Biological Sciences Department, in collaboration with the
USGS, USFWS Northeast Fishery Center, and Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources, seeks a research scientist to lead the development of a
high-throughput genomic monitoring and parentage-based tagging (PBT)
panel for Cisco (*Coregonus artedi*) and Bloater (*Coregonus hoyi*). This
urgent work directly supports the active restoration of these ecologically
and culturally important fish species. To learn more about coregonine
research in the Great Lakes, visit https://www.greatlakesciscoes.org/
to learn more about ongoing efforts.

This project will develop and optimize a novel microhaplotype-based
GT-seq panel for genomic monitoring and PBT applications in coregonines
(Cisco, Bloater). It will assess the panel's accuracy in tracking changes
in genetic diversity over time, estimating demographic parameters,
and reconstructing pedigrees. This panel will generate crucial data to
effectively manage coregonine broodstock, hatchery-rearing practices,
and stocking strategies.

The successful applicant will work at the forefront of conservation
genetics with an exceptional collaborative team. They will gain experience
in genomic techniques, data analysis, and the application of science to
management problems. A competitive salary and benefits package is offered,
and remote work is negotiable.

*Qualifications*
MS. or Ph.D. in ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, genomics, or a
related field (start date)

Demonstrated expertise in molecular biology lab techniques and
bioinformatics.

A commitment to collaboration and science communication.

A strong publication record is preferred.

Applications will include 1) A cover letter describing research interests
and their alignment with the project's goals; 2) a CV highlighting relevant
coursework, research experience, and publications; 3) A Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion Statement; 4) Contact information for three professional
references.
