We have an opportunity for a Research Assistant/Associate to contribute to/make a leading contribution to a project “Reproductive mode evolution and reversal demonstrate the genetic toolkits of egg-laying and live-bearing”, working with Prof. Kathryn Elmer (PI) and Prof Maureen Bain (co-I) and in collaboration with project partner Jean Clobert (CNRS Station for Experimental and Theoretical Ecology at Moulis, France).
Project Objectives: Oviparity and viviparity are the two fundamentally different ways vertebrates give birth to their offspring, but the core genetic determinants are not known. The current project will advance reproductive biology by using rigorous experimental tests (morphology, breeding, and histochemistry) and functional evolutionary genomics/transcriptomics to reveal the molecular basis of reproductive mode, evolution of parity changes, and reversal. This will be accomplished using the powerful natural framework of an extant species (the common lizard) that is ancestrally oviparous but that has derived lineages that are both viviparous and secondarily oviparous.
The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this ambitious project.
Candidates should have specialist theoretical and practical knowledge of some of evolutionary biology, developmental biology, genomics, histochemistry and/or molecular biology, organismal biology.
This post is full time with funding up to 31 August 2024.
For informal inquiries about the role please contact Professor Kathryn Elmer, Kathryn.Elmer@glasgow.ac.uk.
