ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON
INSTITUTE OF ZOOLOGY
RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS IN CONSERVATION GENETICS
(EMPIRICAL AND THEORETICAL)
The Institute of Zoology invites applications for two Research Fellowships in
Conservation Genetics. We wish to appoint highly motivated scientists who have
the potential to develop vigorous research programmes relevant to conservation
biology. A strong publication record is required, as is the potential to obtain
funding from research councils and other grant-giving bodies.
We welcome applications from any field of population/quantitative genetics or
phylogenetics. However, for one post preference will be given to candidates
applying molecular genetic techniques to answer questions at the individual and
population level. For the other post, our preference will be for applicants
developing theoretical models or statistical methods for the analysis of
molecular genetic data, e.g. microsatellites or SNPs.
Appointees will be members of the academic staff of the Institute (equivalent to
a Junior Lecturer position in a university department). Salary will be in the
range £19,064-23,276 including London weighting (pay award pending), depending
on relevant experience. The appointments will be for three years initially, with
a possibility of extension.
Applicants should send a CV (including a brief outline of research interests and
future directions), a letter of application and the names and addresses of three
professional referees to the Personnel Department, Zoological Society of London,
Regent¹s Park, London NW1 4RY. Telephone 0171 449 6253. Further details are
available from Dr Bill Jordan in the Institute of Zoology at the same address or
by email (Bill.Jordan at ioz.ac.uk). Closing date for applications: one month from
publication.
