Project title: Ecological genetics of the great tit in a new, long-term population study set along an urbanization gradient
Project description:
We seek a post-doctoral research fellow in population / ecological genomics to work in the Wild Urban Evolution & Ecology Lab (http://leem.cent.uw.edu.pl) led by Marta Szulkin at the Centre of New Technologies (CeNT), University of Warsaw (Poland) for a period of 1 year. The position is part of a 5 year grant awarded by the Polish Science Foundation (NCN) entitled: “Ecological genetics of the great tit in a new, long-term population study set along an urbanization gradient”, which started in October 2015. CeNT is a vibrant research-only institute located on the science campus of the University of Warsaw. English is the working language of the group.
Background. Urban areas are predicted to expand 12-fold between 2000 and 2050, yet knowledge on the evolutionary ecology of free-living animals in urban environments is very scarce. To understand the footprint of cities on the phenotype and genotype of a wild bird, we have (i) started a large-scale, long-term study of great tits Parus major and blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus in the city of Warsaw (Poland) in a gradient of urbanization, and (ii) performed replicated sampling across multiple habitats and multiple cities countrywide.
Key responsibilities include:
Job description. The post-doctoral fellow will analyse NGS data and apply genomic analytical pipelines to infer the ecological and population genomics of urban great tits on readily collected blood samples and recently extracted DNA. S/he will also participate in fieldwork and in collecting phenotypic and genetic data, and have flexibility to develop his/her own ideas and approaches to the overall research theme, with possibilities for further grant applications. S/he will work in interaction with the PI and all team members, as well as with collaborators with other urban evolutionary ecology research groups worldwide.
Profile of candidates/requirements:
We seek motivated candidates with a PhD degree, fluent English and a strong interest in population genetics. The candidate should have a background in evolutionary ecology, statistical modelling in R, RADseq and / or population genomic data analysis. Unix / Linux programming skills, lab experience and / or bird ringing experience are desirable.
Required documents:
Your application should include in PDF format: a cover letter, a CV (including your research experience, conference attendance, a publication list and contact information to two referees) and a scan of your PhD certificate.
We offer:
Employment: Post-doctoral full time position (asystent / adiunkt naukowy). The position will allow for a refinement of urban population genomic research and has the potential for further research grant applications. Salary: 6250 PLN gross/month + 1 extra month bonus.
