Research Scientist & Post-Doctoral Fellow on Caribou Genomics The EcoGenomics (www.ecogenomicscanada.ca) Research Group under Principal Investigators Dr. Paul Wilson (Trent University) and Dr. Micheline Manseau (Environment & Climate Change Canada, Trent University) is recruiting a full-time Research Scientist in Molecular Genomics and a full-time Post-doctoral Fellow (PDF) in support of conservation genomics and demographics of caribou (Rangifer tarandus). A range of questions will be addressed through the targeting of regions of the caribou genome through assays on non-invasively collected specimens. The Research Scientist position is based out of the Biology Department, Trent University, Peterborough, ON. The PDF position is based out of Ottawa, ON at the National Wildlife Research Centre (ECCC). Education & Experience: The Research Scientist position requires a PhD, although highly experienced MSc candidates may be considered. Candidates should demonstrate excellent laboratory experience and knowledge in genomic methodologies including DNA extraction, PCR amplification, library preparation and sequencing on Illumina and/or Nanopore platforms; with non-PCR targeting such as hybridization capture, CRISPR and/or adaptive sampling, and methylation profiling being considered an asset. The successful candidate must further demonstrate strong writing and presentation skills as evident by proposal writing, reporting, peer-reviewed publications and conference attendance. The PDF position in conservation genomics and demographics of caribou requires a PhD with experience in one or more of the following: demographic modelling, spatial network and pedigree analyses with machine learning being considered an asset. The successful candidate must further demonstrate strong writing and presentation skills as evident by proposal writing, reporting, peer-reviewed publications and conference attendance. Compensation for both positions are $70,000 CAD/year minimum but are negotiable based on experience. One year of funding is guaranteed with the potential for extension based upon performance and budget.
