Postdoctoral Fellow - Parasite population genomics
Salary range is £28,563 to £35,795 per annum dependent on experience.
Closing Date: 31st August 2012
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a world leader in genomic research, with an expanding scientific programme dedicated to understanding gene function in health & disease.
The Parasite Genomics group uses large-scale sequencing approaches to study parasites associated with diseases of global importance to humans and animals, with a particular emphasis on diseases of developing countries.
Existing projects within the group build on genome sequence data to address scientific questions from population genomics to functional genomics and immunology, and include working on a range of helminth and protozoan parasites in collaboration with experts in particular systems. Specific examples include in-depth comparative genomics of schistosome species, transcriptomic analysis using RNA-seq of the life cycle of a number of nematode parasites as well as a number of de novo genome sequencing projects.
We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and ambitious postdoctoral fellow to contribute to projects involving the application of high-throughput sequencing technologies to understand the population structure, evolution and epidemiology of a range of eukaryotic parasites. A key aspect of this role will include the analysis of 'next generation sequencing' data in a population genetic framework. The successful candidate will be encouraged to both get involved in existing projects and develop their own interests in related areas, taking advantage of the unparalleled resources and expertise available within the Institute.
