Subject: Research fellow in bioinformatics
We have a research opportunity open at the University of St Andrews' Centre for
Biological Diversity Biodiversity (CBD), School of Biology working in the
research team of Carolin Kosiol.
We are seeking a motivated and creative postdoctoral researcher for a project
"PoMoSelect: Disentangling modes of selection" funded by the BBSRC. Recent
sequencing of genomes of closely related species and of many individuals from
the same species enables the study of speciation and the inference of the
history of populations. Standard phylogenetic methods reduce entire populations
to single points in genotypic space by modelling evolution as a process in
which a single gene mutates along the branches of a phylogeny. The Kosiol
group has developed new approaches, called polymorphism-aware phylogenetic
models (PoMo, Borges et al., Genetics 2019, Schrempf et al., JTB 2016, DeMaio
et al., Syst Biol 2015) for species tree estimation. We envisage developing new
theory and software to tackle the problem of balancing selection.
You will be part of a team developing new methods that investigate the role of
balancing selection. This will involve theoretical work as well as software
implementation and the analysis and interpretation of high-throughput molecular
and genomics data.
This post will suit a candidate who can think flexibly and implement new
software. Ideally, the candidate should have solid grasp of programming
languages (eg. C, C++, Java, Python, R), but a desire to extend their
capabilities into new areas and methods is highly desirable and there will be
many opportunities to develop specific skills. An interest in phylogenetics and
population genomics is a plus.
You will have the opportunity to publish first author papers, contribute as a
co-author, and present your work internally and at international conferences.
You must be able to independently manage your work, meet deadlines, and prepare
internal reports and draft publications. You will have good communication
skills. This is an outstanding opportunity to develop your research skills, ask
exciting scientific questions and drive forward novel research at the cutting
edge.
Applications should include:
(i) A cover letter expressing your interest in the position
(ii) a current CV
(iii) the names and contact details of three referees.
Deadline 5th January 2022

Applications are particularly welcome from women, people from the Black, Asian
and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who
are under-represented in research posts at the University.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews
experience. We strive to create a fair and inclusive culture demonstrated
through our commitment to diversity awards (Athena Swan, Carer Positive, LGBT
Charter, Race Charters and Stonewall). We celebrate diversity by promoting
profiles of BAME, LGBTIQ+ staff and supporting networks including the Staff
BAME Network; Staff with Disabilities Network; Staff LGBTIQ+ Network; and the
Staff Parents & Carers Network.
