Fwd: Postdoc: LundU.ElephantConservationPalaeogenomics
Begin forwarded message: > From: [email protected] > Subject: Postdoc: LundU.ElephantConservationPalaeogenomics > Date: 26 October 2024 at 06:16:31 BST > To: [email protected] > > > > Post-doctoral fellow in Palaeogenomics and conservation genomics > Lund University, Sweden > > We are recruiting a postdoc for 2 years (with possibility of extension > for one more year) at the Department of Biology, Lund University, > Sweden. The project aims to quantify the loss of genomic diversity > through five millennia of elephant ivory trade. It includes a genomic > analysis of elephant ivory confiscated in illegal imports to Europe and > historical ivory from museums and archaeological collections as a source > of key insights into elephant evolutionary history and the present-day > poaching crisis. > > The project is led by Dr. PatrĂcia PeÄnerovĂĄ (patriciapecnerova.com) > who is based at the University of Copenhagen.  The postdoc will be > hosted by Prof. Bengt Hansson at the Molecular Ecology and Evolution Lab, > Department of Biology, at Lund University. > > Work description > > The project will use an interdisciplinary approach combining ancient > DNA, population genetics, and conservation genetics. Collaboration with > archaeologists, palaeontologists, historians, curators, conservationists, > and forensics officials is an integral part of the project. The postdoc > will help inform study design and perform research including recovering > and analyzing ancient DNA using state-of-the-art genomic methods and > writing up the results for publication in scientific journals. The > position includes opportunities for participating in international > conferences/meetings, sampling trips, and visits to collaborators > across Europe. > > Requirements > > A PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within > the subject of the position.Documented ability to develop and complete > high-quality research.A comprehensive understanding of evolutionary > and population genetics theory.A demonstrated track-record in handling > high-throughput DNA sequencing data and bioinformatic analyses.Experience > with wet lab analyses of ancient DNA or molecular lab work.A curious, > collaborative, and cross-disciplinary mindset.Interest in biodiversity > conservation.Very good oral and written English skills. > > Application > > Applications shall be written in English and be compiled into a PDF-file > containing: > > A cover letter stating reasons for applying for this position, > outlining why you are suitable for the position, and giving a general > description of past research and future research interests (no more than > 2 pages).RĂ©sumĂ©/CV, including degrees and other completed courses, > skills and work experience in laboratory and computational analyses, > and a list of publicationsContact information for 2-3 references.Copy > of the doctoral degree diploma. > > Application deadline: 25 November 2024 > Expected starting date: 20 January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter > Apply at > https://ift.tt/yaNEl0q > > Contact > > Further information about the position can be obtained from Dr. PatrĂcia > PeÄnerovĂĄ, [email protected], and Prof. Bengt Hansson, > [email protected]. > > PatrĂcia ChrzanovĂĄ PecnerovĂĄ
