Job Description
Faculty of Life Sciences
Closing date: 23/09/2010
Reference: LS/10832
We are seeking an enthusiastic postdoctoral researcher to join a team led by Dr. Chris Thompson, Dr Jason Wolf and Dr. Danny Rozen. This joint project will use a multidisciplinary approach to understand the genetics of social evolution, using the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum as a model system. This is based on our recent discovery of complex partner specific social interactions in this system (Buttery N.J., Rozen D.E., Wolf J.B., Thompson C.R.L., Current Biology, 2009 vol 19 p. 1373-7). This project is multidisciplinary, utilising a combination of quantitative genetics, experimental evolution, molecular genetics and mathematical modelling to understand the multivariate elements of social evolution.
You should currently hold or be about to obtain a PhD in a relevant field.
The post funded by the NERC and is available for up to 3 years.
