We are currently seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated
Postdoctoral Scientist to work on comparative and population genomics
studies, with a focus on evolutionary and molecular mechanisms of
mammalian environmental adaption. The successful candidate will
be responsible for developing computational methods and analysing
primary genomic resources, in order to study genomics signatures of
environmental adaptation, with a particular focus on the adaptation
to aridity. The post holder will work in a highly collaborative and
interdisciplinary environment and interact with other group members and
external collaborators coming from a variety of backgrounds, to include;
Experimental Biologists, Field Ecologists and Computational Biologists.
To be considered for this post you will hold a PhD in Computational
