Job Description:

The School of Biological Sciences at the University of Cambridge is pleased to invite applications for a Professorship position in Evolutionary Genomics. The successful candidate will join a dynamic research group focused on understanding the complexities of genome relationships.

The post holder will be expected to build a world-leading research programme, deliver excellent teaching, and positively engage with academic leadership both in the home Department(s) and across the School of Biological Sciences.

The focus of the research programme will be on studying the complexities of genome and/or species relationships, with a particular emphasis on reticulate networks rather than simple hierarchical or branching patterns.
