Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact me (a.e.wright@sheffield.ac.uk ) in advance of applying. Further details below. Grade 7 (37,099 per annum) We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual interested in evolutionary biology and sexual selection to join the Leverhulme Trust and UKRI funded project 'Deciphering the genomics and evolution of honest sexual signals'. The project will combine experimental, comparative and single-cell sequencing approaches across multiple evolutionary levels to integrate patterns of sexual dimorphism within populations and across species using stalk-eyed flies. The PDRA will lead the collection of single-cell expression data (scRNA-seq) and be responsible for identifying the genes and networks responsible for male eye-stalks and their evolution across species. The PDRA will be encouraged and supported to develop their own research projects. The project has strong collaborative links with Prof Andrew Pomiankowski at University College London. Together, we provide a highly supportive environment with access to excellent development resources and cutting-edge facilities. The project will be funded for 31 months in the first instance, with a possibility for extension based on performance and financial availability.
