The Department of Genetics is seeking to appoint a short-term postdoctoral Research Assistant/Associate to start as soon as possible to complete work with Professor Richard Durbin on studies into the genomics of population structure and speciation in the Malawi cichlid genus Labeotropheus.
This post will build on past work in which over 1000 samples of Labeotropheus from multiple species/populations have been collected in Malawi under a joint agreement with the Government of Malawi, with field phenotype data, genomic sequencing data obtained in the UK, and micro-CT scanning data being also collected. Initial analysis suggests recurrent selection of divergent types in multiple locations. The aim of this role is to complete this analysis and prepare a manuscript for submission for publication. The position is available up until the end of 2025.
Where a PhD has yet to be awarded the appointment will initially be made at Research Assistant level (Grade 5) and amended to Research Associate (Grade 7) upon the award of PhD. If a PhD is not held, the appointment will be made at Research Assistant level.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available until 31 December 2025 in the first instance.
