Job Role: Postdoc
The University of Calgary, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (UCVM is seeking a graduate student for a project using genomics approaches to investigate drug resistance in human soil transmitted helminths. The project will apply a number of deep amplicon sequencing and genome-wide scanning approaches that we have developed for animal parasites and apply them to track the emergence of benzimidazole drug resistance in human soil transmitted helminths.

A Ph.D. student position is available beginning February 2017 to study the evolutionary genetics of sexual dimorphism. The position is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), supervised by Dr. Brian Hollis. The project will combine experimental work in Drosophila melanogaster with molecular genetic and bioinformatic approaches (e.g. population genomics, genome-wide association, expression profiling) to better understand the evolution and genetic basis of differences between the sexes. There is considerable scope for the Ph.D. student to shape the project and develop his or her own research questions. [More]
The Max Planck Research Group "Biological Clocks" (http://www.evolbio.mpg.de/biologicalclocks) combines evolutionary genomics and molecular biology with behavioral experiments and ecological fieldwork, aiming to uncover the yet unknown molecular basis of circalunar clocks. At the same time, we study the process of evolutionary adaptation. Our model organism, the intertidal midge Clunio marinus (Diptera), has timed its life cycle to the rhythm of the tides using circalunar and circadian clocks. As the tides differ along the coastline, the clocks of Clunio populations are genetically adapted to the local pattern of the tides. We have shown that these evolutionary adaptations can be exploited for comparative genomic and molecular studies in order to identify new clock molecules (Nature, in press). [More]
Mitochondria contain their own genome that codes for several subunits of the respiratory chain. We have developed both in vivo and in vitro techniques to study mitochondrial DNA replication. With this project the candidate will study how the mitochondrial genome is replicated in human cells and how errors in this process can arise. The aim of this project is to study the molecular mechanisms and its regulation of DNA replication. The project mainly involves work with purified proteins and in vitro experiments, but also bioinformatics, molecular and cell biology are necessary for the project. An achieved doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as postdoctor at Göteborg University. [More]
The British Columbia Cancer Agency is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct scientific research in the area of cancer genomics specifically related to an ongoing effort to understand the aetiology of aggressive lymphoid cancers including diffuse large B-cell and mantle cell lymphomas. [More]
