The Marine Mammal Genetics Program (MMGP) at Southwest Fisheries Science Center seeks highly motivated candidates for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position. MMGP has several funded projects focused on developing and using genomic tools to investigate the ecology, evolution, and population dynamics of various marine mammal species and contribute to their conservation and management. The successful applicant will lead a project designed to generate the data sets and code needed to develop large SNP panels for multiple marine mammal species that are of high management concern. The data generated from a large number of species in the core project will provide exciting opportunities to pursue projects on comparative genomics, population structure, and demography.
Candidates must have bioinformatics experience, including managing and analyzing large genetic datasets, producing workflows for genomic data analysis, and familiarity with using GitHub for version control and collaborative coding. In addition, the candidate should be proficient with programming in R and bash, and with working in the LINUX command line environment. Laboratory experience with next generation sequencing protocols, such as ddRAD or lcWGS, is beneficial but not required. This is a 3-year, full-time position offering a comprehensive benefits package, including moving expenses. The position is open to everyone, regardless of citizenship.
