Postdoctoral Research Associate in Plant Molecular Biology
Department: Biology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3RB
The post holder will lead a project investigating how the evolution of self-fertilization impacts genome and epigenome variation. The selected candidate will analyze Capsella species representing multiple independent transitions to selfing to identify common (epi)genomic features associated with this mating system transition, including host defenses against transposons and collateral impacts on nearby genes. This project is part of a larger effort in the Mosher lab in collaboration with the University of Georgia.
Responsibilities:
1. Analyze high throughput sequence data using genomics and bioinformatic techniques.
2. Provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including research assistants, technicians, and DPhil and project students.
3. Develop a future independent research program supported by Prof. Mosher.
Qualifications:
1. DPhil/PhD in life sciences.
2. Record of research productivity.
3. Good communication skills, organization, and record-keeping.
Additional Information:
The University of Oxford is committed to equality and valuing diversity. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
This post is full-time and available immediately for 2 years.
