Biodiversity Genomics Postdoctoral Researcher
3 weeks ago
Position Overview
The primary objective of this position is to advance the mission of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, which is dedicated to understanding and safeguarding plant and fungal diversity for the benefit of humanity and the sustainability of life on our planet. This role involves conducting cutting-edge genomic research focused on the diversity of plants and fungi.
The successful applicant will join a prestigious, multidisciplinary team led by the Director of Science, Prof. Alexandre Antonelli. This international research group encompasses a wide array of expertise and interests, collaborating on projects related to the evolution and conservation of biodiversity, with a particular emphasis on tropical ecosystems, especially within Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest.
Role Responsibilities
Building upon RBG Kew's extensive background in conservation genomics, phylogenomics, and genome evolution, we are seeking a driven researcher to develop an independent project in partnership with Professor Antonelli, while also contributing to established projects within the team.
The ideal candidate will possess a PhD in a relevant field (biodiversity science, phylogenomics, biogeography, evolutionary biology, conservation genetics, spatial analyses) and demonstrate the ability to work both collaboratively and independently with genomic data. Proficiency in data collection, analysis, and the dissemination of findings through high-impact publications and presentations is essential.
Specialized experience in genomic laboratory techniques and bioinformatics is required, alongside a solid understanding of biogeographical analyses and conservation science. Excellent verbal and written communication skills, coupled with a strong publication record, are crucial for success in this role. The position may also involve supervising students and visitors, so prior experience in mentoring or a willingness to develop these skills is preferred.
Application Requirements
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Applicants must include a concise 1-page project proposal with their application, outlining the scientific questions to be addressed, the genomic data to be collected, and the intended methods for conducting, publishing, and disseminating the research.
Additionally, a research CV should be submitted, detailing publication and funding history, as well as other relevant achievements that showcase the applicant's qualifications as a research scientist, including scientific honors and committee memberships.
Benefits
Our comprehensive benefits package offers opportunities for ongoing professional development, generous annual leave, flexible working arrangements to support a healthy work-life balance, and an Employee Assistance Programme. Additional wellbeing support includes a cycle-to-work scheme and discounted gym memberships. We also provide a competitive pension plan, an employee discount scheme, and complimentary access to numerous national museums and galleries, along with our own beautiful gardens.
