Postdoctoral Research Associate
Applications for this vacancy closed on 22 March 2024 at 12:00PM
We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the
tempo and mode of genome evolution in wild communities.
The successful applicant will analyse genomic and metagenomic time-series data
to answer questions such as: How quickly do species evolve in complex
communities? Can we detect adaptation to their biotic and/or abiotic
environment? How important is dispersal for adaptation and functioning of
communities in changing conditions? You will conduct bioinformatic and
evolutionary analyses of existing unpublished and published data, especially
from evolution experiments on whole bacterial communities in the wild and
laboratory, but also from historical genomics of insect and fungal assemblages
sampled over periods of decades.
Strong interests in evolutionary biology, skills working with genomic or
metagenomic pipelines, and a PhD/DPhil (or be close to completion) in a
relevant area are essential. This position offers opportunities to develop
your own research interests. The post holder would guide less experienced
members of the research group, including PhD and project students.
The post is full time (applications for >50% part-time also welcome) and
available immediately.
Where Covid-19 has resulted in substantial disruption to your work or research
outputs, please explain this by providing an additional paragraph in your
supporting statement.
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All
applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
This post is fixed term for 12 months or until 30 April 2025.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 22 March 2024,
interviews are likely to be scheduled for 27 March. Applications for this
vacancy are to be made online via our e-recruitment system, and you will be
required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your online
application.
