Our lab is focused on applying genomic and genetic research tools to enhance wildlife conservation, population health, and management through collaborative research, education, and public outreach. Special programs include Migration Genomics, Wildlife Genomic Health, and Hummingbird Health Program. Check out http://www.wildlifegenetichealth.org/ 1) POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN WILDLIFE POPULATION GENOMICS and LAB MANAGER. Focus is on bighorn sheep population genomics. A post-doctoral research position (Postdoc; position #4712”) is available to work on wildlife population genomics and serve as laboratory manager at the University of Wyoming (UW) in Laramie. The position will be primarily lab-based within the Ernest Wildlife Genomics and Disease Ecology Laboratory in the Department of Veterinary Sciences which has affiliations with the UW Program in Ecology and the University of California, Davis Wildlife Health Center. Research will use genomic (next gen sequencing) and genetic (microsatellite) to examine landscape-level genetic diversity, population structure, and phylogeography of wildlife species in the Rocky Mountain West and California. Species of focus will mainly involve bighorn sheep, and also contribute to work on pronghorn, mountain lion, hummingbird, sea otter and/or other species. Research work may also involve wildlife disease ecology. Details and application information: http://goo.gl/1NHpFR ---------------- 2) POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN WILDLIFE LANDSCAPE GENETICS. Focus is on mountain lion population and landscape genetics using non-invasive molecular mark-recapture methods. A post-doctoral research position (Postdoc; position #4740”) is available to work on wildlife landscape genetics and population genetics at the University of Wyoming (UW) in Laramie. The position will be primarily lab-based within the Ernest Wildlife Genomics and Disease Ecology Laboratory in the Department of Veterinary Sciences which has affiliations with the UW Program in Ecology and the University of California, Davis Wildlife Health Center. Research will use genetic (microsatellite) and genomic (next gen sequencing) DNA data (including non/less-invasive sampling, such as fecal samples), GIS analysis, and quantitative analytic analysis using spatially explicit capture–recapture and other models, and software such as MARK, SECR, CAPWIRE, and others to examine population ecology, relatedness, and estimate population sizes of wildlife species in the Rocky Mountain West and California. Species of focus will mainly involve mountain lions, and also contribute to work on pronghorn, bighorn sheep, hummingbirds and/or other species.
