Edinburgh, United Kingdom The University of Edinburgh Full time

Fixed Term contract - available immediately for 24 months

Full time - 35 hours per week

We are looking for a new Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Fish Genome Editing to contribute to research elucidating the functional basis of resistance to sea lice in salmonid species.

The Opportunity:

We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to perform research in Atlantic salmon germ cells. The role will require the isolation, optimisation of in vitro culture and genome editing of Atlantic salmon germ cells, with the final goal of accelerating genetic improvement in aquaculture breeding programmes. The post is within Dr Diego Robledo's and Prof Mike McGrew's research groups at The Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh. 

The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD or be near to completing a PhD in a related field (i.e. cellular biology or molecular biology), and will have experience working with germ cells in fish species. This post will offer the opportunity to work in the rapidly developing field of aquaculture genetics and breeding. The successful candidate will have the chance to collaborate with leading researchers in the field and to present results at (inter)national meetings and conferences.

For informal enquiries, please contact: 

diego.robledo@roslin.ed.ac.uk & mike.mcgrew@roslin.ed.ac.uk

Your skills and attributes for success: 

  • Doctorate-level training in relevant biological science
  • Experience in cellular biology
  • The ability to communicate complex concepts (including a relevant, peer-reviewed publication track record and attendance at major conferences)
  • Skills and experience working on collaborative scientific projects
