The HighlanderLab at The Roslin Institute is looking for a core scientist to join the team. The group focus on managing and improving populations using data science, genetics, and breeding. While their core remit is in quantitative genetics and animal breeding, they have active projects also in plant and insect species. They work on a range of theoretical aspects and their application in real populations; both in interaction with leading industry partners. Visit the group website for more information.
This is a strategic position with an open-end contract - a core scientist position funded by the BBSRC. The post holder will work closely with the PI, Gregor Gorjanc on:
- their research,
- teaching and supervising students and post-docs to deliver current projects,
- developing new methods and ideas, and
- securing funding.
Candidates should hold a PhD in quantitative genetics, breeding, statistics, or related fields. Preference will be given to candidates with significant research and development experience in these fields. University admin is yet to process the post documentation, but inquiries and expressions of interest are open at gregor.gorjanc@roslin.ed.ac.uk.
