Salary range: starting at £31,342 and rising to £37,394. It is normal to appoint at the first point of the salary scale.
The position will be part of a project funded by a European Research Council (ERC) grant (2Sexes_1Genome http://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/101182_en.html) that aims to investigate the genetic basis of sexually antagonistic fitness variation. The postdoc position will primarily be responsible for undertaking a large-scale field-based experiment using the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster, to learn more about the genetics of fitness variation under natural conditions. The project will take advantage of already existing whole-genome sequences and phenotypic data collected under laboratory conditions.
The position would suit an ambitious and highly motivated individual with an interest in evolutionary genetics of fitness variation and sexual antagonism. The position would require a high level of independence in order to establish field sites and work for extended periods in the field. The candidate should have experience of insect or invertebrate model systems under lab or field conditions, as well as good analytical and or statistical skills ideally within a quantitative genetic framework, and have experience of using molecular markers. Good communication and organizational skills are essential. The post-holder must have a PhD in a biological or related subject.
Closing date for applications: 9 November 2014
