We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual interested in evolutionary biology and sexual selection to join the UKRI funded project ‘Deciphering the genomics and evolution of honest sexual signals’. The project will combine experimental, comparative and single-cell sequencing approaches across multiple evolutionary levels to integrate patterns of sexual dimorphism within populations and across species, to break new frontiers in our understanding of sexual selection. The focus is a classic model of sexual selection - stalk-eyed flies. This is an excellent opportunity to undertake high-quality, international research on a novel, multi-disciplinary project that integrates cutting-edge genomics techniques with a classic model of sexual selection.
Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant subject area along with experience with stalk-eyed fly husbandry and dissections. Previous wet-lab experience of preparing stalk-eyed fly samples for next-generation sequencing and single-cell RNA-seq, and analysing the data, is also essential.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
