Location: Sutton Bonington

Applications are invited for a Research Associate/Fellow in Sheep Disease Genetics This position is part of a 3 year funded BBSRC funded project, titled Establishing the Missing Pieces for a Breeding Selection Programme: TMEM154 and Maedi Visna Resistance in Sheep. The project is an ambitious collaboration between the University of Nottingham and the Moredun Institute and is aimed at developing a viable genetic selection control programme for an intractable infectious viral disease of sheep. The post holder will join the One Virology Strategic Research Area in the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science on the University of Nottingham's Sutton Bonington Campus.

The second focus will be on bio-informatic and genetic sequencing and analysis, in conjunction with the AHDB geneticist. There will be some wet lab work and the candidate will work closely with a second post at Moredun focussed on molecular biology work aimed at determining the function of the TMEM154 gene. The end aim of the project is to develop recommendations for a breeding strategy for UK flocks to reduce the impact of Maedi Visna on sheep production.
