PostDoc in the field of 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
(ncorradi@uottawa.ca).
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 students and located
