About the Role
A Postdoctoral Research Assistant position is available at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) to work with Prof Stephen Rossiter. The position is funded on a BBSRC project entitled ‘The molecular basis of viral tolerance in bats’, which was awarded jointly with Prof Clare Bryant (University of Cambridge).
Mounting evidence suggests that bats possess unique antiviral immunity yet only a tiny fraction of bat diversity has been examined to date. This project aims to discover new molecular adaptations linked to innate immunity across a wide sample of bat species.
The post-holder will be required to combine newly-generated raw short-read sequence data with published high-quality assemblies, and to combine downstream methods in comparative genomics and phylogenetics to identify suitable candidate loci for functional testing by our collaborators. The post-holder will join a multidisciplinary, diverse, inclusive team with frequent meetings, interactions, and high-quality mentoring.
About You
The ideal candidate for this position will have a PhD in molecular and/or evolutionary biology, including significant experience in bioinformatics. In particular, past experience of handling large genome datasets, and conducting comparative genomics analyses, will be highly desirable. We are also looking for a motivated individual who has the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Candidates should ideally have a track-record of publications, excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage and prioritise their time effectively. We will provide a supportive and encouraging environment and training where needed.
About the School and Department
The School of Biological & Behavioural Sciences is one of the largest Schools within Queen Mary University of London and is committed to excellence in research and teaching. The Department offers a lively, stimulating environment for both staff and students, well integrated in the School.
About Queen Mary

Benefits
In return, we offer 30 days’ leave per annum, access to a pension scheme, a season ticket loan scheme and competitive salaries. We also offer enhanced family friendly leave, and an on-site nursery at the Mile End campus. You will also work with a friendly team, with personal development opportunities.
