Job Description Job Title: Three Postdoctoral Researchers in Evolutionary and Environmental Genomics Faculty/Department: School of Biological, Biomedical and Environmental Sciences Reporting to: Dr Dave Lunt Duration: 8 months Job Family: Academic Pay Band: 7 Benchmark Profile: DBS Disclosure requirement: No Vacancy Reference: FS0210 Details Specific to the Post Background and Context High throughput sequencing has revolutionised the detail with which we can monitor biodiversity and understand the ecology of species. EvoHull, the University of Hull Evolutionary and Environmental Genomics Group has recently been awarded substantial internal investment to further develop our capabilities, with a major focus on eDNA and metabarcoding. This investment includes funding for the three posts advertised here, and an Illumina MiSeq High Throughput Sequencer including consumables budget. Our dynamic and friendly group includes academic members of staff with interests including eDNA, molecular food webs, metabarcoding and bioinformatics, as well as whole genome analyses, and we currently have 5 PhD students working on eDNA, and 3 Post-Docs working on molecular food webs and development of streamlined reproducible bioinformatics pipelines for analyses of data from metabarcoding/genome projects. Our labs are well equipped for sensitive, high throughput molecular analyses, and include a dedicated eDNA laboratory (for minimizing contamination risk), and qPCR and Illumina MiSeq machines. We are looking for three additional post-doctoral researchers for the following posts:
