Hi all,
There is a 5 week position available involving the extraction of DNA from 120 endangered sea stars and screening those individuals with seven microsatellite loci as well as Sanger sequencing two mtDNA regions.
All work will be carried out in the CSL molecular genetics laboratories and I will be on hand to assist with the running of samples on the sequencer. A/Prof Chris Burridge is a co- chief investigator. The samples will be supplied by Ecomarine Consulting and the project is funded by Pitt & Sherry.
The successful applicant will need to have a solid background in population genetics and will be required to produce a detailed report for the funding body. The position is funded at HEO6 level.
Please get in touch with me if you are interested or know of someone who might be and I can provide you with further details. Thanks.
Regards,
Adam.
