Postdoc: Fungal Comparative and Population Genomics

The Corradi Lab is currently seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of Fungal Comparative and Population Genomics. The research will be led by Dr. Nicolas Corradi and carried out in a CIFAR (Canadian Institute for Advanced Research) – affiliated laboratory located in the Department of Biology of the University of Ottawa, Canada.
The position will be initially funded for one year, with the possibility of renewal for up to three years depending on performance. The candidate is expected to contribute to several ongoing projects that focus on the population genomics of two evolutionary unrelated groups of fungi: the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and the Microsporidia. Enquiries about specific projects can be sent to Dr. Nicolas Corradi ([e-mail]).
Applicants are expected to have a background in comparative genomics or populations genomics. A strong experience in either Population Genetics, Environmental Genomics, Metagenomics, or ab-initio gene annotation and programming will be seen as an strong asset for the final selection of the candidate. Basic knowledge of Linux is required.
A complete application package includes a CV, a one-page description of past research accomplishments and future goals, and the names and e-mail addresses of at least 2 references. Evaluation of applications starts immediately and will continue until a suitable candidate is found.
The University of Ottawa is a large, research-intensive university, hosting over 40.000 stude...
