5 days ago
We are seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral fellow to join our team at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS). The successful candidate will work with a dynamic team of scientists to advance our understanding of species relationships in Great Lakes prey fish and support the conservation and restoration of native fish populations.
Key Responsibilities:- Evaluate spatial and temporal diversity in wild parent stocks of coregonines used for restoration with RADseq data from wild populations supporting hatchery stocks.
- Identify genomic regions under divergent selection to support new tools for the rapid identification of stocks and sex, and for evaluating the success of hybridization among species, using lcWGS data.
- Use high-coverage WGS data to determine the role of selection and hybridization in historical and contemporary diversity within the Great Lakes cisco species complex, shedding light on how it has adapted to rapid environmental changes and how hybridization has impacted genetic diversity and species integrity.
- Collaborate with technicians preparing genomic libraries in the Molecular Ecology Laboratory at the USGS Great Lakes Science Center.
- Lead at least one manuscript based on research findings for submission to a peer-reviewed journal and present results at a conference(s).
- A Ph.D. in biology, bioinformatics, oceanography, or environmental science, or a similar field, with a strong background in bioinformatics.
- Experience analyzing large and complex genomic datasets derived from field and/or laboratory samples.
- Experience with high-performance computing, Linux command line, scripting languages (Perl, Python, R and/or Bash), and databases (e.g., SQL), various bioinformatic software, and statistical approaches to `omics data.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently in a research setting, as well as collaboratively as a team member.
- Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to lead the development of manuscripts for refereed journal publication.
