A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Alberto Civetta's research group at the University of Winnipeg, Winnipeg, Canada. Our laboratory is interested in the genetic basis of reproductive incompatibilities. We are currently engaged in testing the role of a group of candidate genes in reproductive isolation, identifying common genetic basis to sperm competition and conspecific sperm precedence and identifying selection at the molecular level.
Ideally, the candidate should have expertise in Drosophila biology and either training in molecular biology and/or genomics and bioinformatics.
Working on this project will require independence, initiative, and the ability to devise new approaches. There will be opportunities to interact with graduate students and particularly to get direct experience in helping supervise undergraduate students' research projects. The position is available for one year, but renewable for at least an additional year depending on performance and progress.
The start date is flexible but should ideally start in July 2023.
The University of Winnipeg, (http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/) is located in downtown Winnipeg. Winnipeg is home to about 700,000 people from around the world with a rich array of cultural, educational and recreational opportunities. Reasonable housing costs make Winnipeg an affordable place to live and work.
Informal enquiries are welcomed. Applicants should email a cover letter and CV (including contact details for two referees) to a.civetta@uwinnipeg.ca
Applications will be accepted until December 15, 2022, or until a suitable candidate is identified.
