[afgn] ERC postdocs at the JIC

[Marilia K. F. de Campos]

 From Levi Yant"

Genome duplication, gene flow, and adaptation at the John Innes Centre

We seek big-question-oriented postdocs to join us to work on  
fundamental problems in evolutionary genomics. We offer a highly  
interdisciplinary environment with outstanding institutional support  
and funding.

Two ERC grants have just been won by the Yant lab and our very close  
collaborators, the Bomblies lab (also at JIC). This greatly enhances  
an ambitious programme in evolutionary genomics in Norwich.  
Additionally, we have many collaborations with diverse European  
groups, offering you outstanding potential for professional development.

Current projects have an explicitly phenotype-first orientation,  
aiming to determine the genetic basis and evolutionary repeatability  
of adaptation to intense, quantifiable selection pressures, both  
environmental and intracellular.

We do this by applying large-scale population genomics to wild plant  
populations that have evolved to overcome demonstrable hazards. We  
currently focus on adaptation to genome duplication as well as  
adaptation to highly challenging, quantifiable environmental stressors  
in species ranging from Arabidopsis arenosa, to Chamerion  
angustifolium, to Mimulus guttatus and back throughout the  
Brassicaceae to A. lyrata and A. thaliana.

Salary on appointment will be within the range £30,500 to £37,500 per  
annum depending on qualifications and experience. This post is for a  
contract of 36 months.

Early application is encouraged, but the deadline for application is  
30 August 2016.
