Job Description:
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated post-doctoral bioinformatician to analyse a unique collection of trans-omic cattle data covering the full spectrum from genomes to downstream phenotypes. Alongside our collaborators in the UK and Africa we have developed a unique collection of datasets across European and African cattle, that includes long read sequencing and optical mapping data of cattle genomes, population resequencing datasets and matching expression, chromatin and methylation collections across different cattle breeds. The post-doctoral researcher will use these data to address important questions regarding the evolution and domestication of cattle, bovid gene regulation and the biological mechanisms underlying economically important phenotypes such as disease resistance. The position will primarily involve developing and applying novel approaches for analysing these large high throughput sequencing datasets to address important questions with respect to animal disease genetics, gene regulation and evolution.
