This role involves postdoctoral research positions focused on ancient environmental genomics, situated within the Ancient Environmental Genomics Initiative for Sustainability. Candidates are expected to have advanced expertise in genomics, particularly in analyzing ancient DNA and environmental genetic material. Proficiency in bioinformatics tools and computational methods for processing large genomic datasets is essential. Experience with next-generation sequencing technologies, ancient DNA extraction, and contamination control methods is highly relevant. The position likely requires a strong background in evolutionary biology, ecology, or related life sciences, combined with skills in statistical analysis and data interpretation. Familiarity with sustainability concepts and the application of ancient genomic data to environmental and conservation challenges is advantageous. Candidates should demonstrate a capacity for interdisciplinary collaboration, integrating genomics with environmental science to address questions about past ecosystems and their relevance to current sustainability efforts. Strong scientific communication skills, including publishing research findings and presenting at conferences, are important. Overall, the ideal candidate will possess a doctoral degree in genomics, molecular biology, ecology, or a related field, with a focus on ancient DNA and environmental applications, along with practical experience in laboratory and computational techniques pertinent to ancient environmental genomics research.
