Promocija prof. Gorjanca:

We are looking for a new colleague to join us in the HighlanderLab at The Roslin Institute. We focus on managing and improving populations using data science, genetics, and breeding. While our core remit is in quantitative genetics and animal breeding, we have active projects also in plant and insect species. We work on a range of theoretical aspects and their application in real populations; both in interaction with leading industry partners. Visit our website for more information: https://www.ed.ac.uk/roslin/highlanderlab

This is a strategic position with an open-end contract - a core scientist position funded by the BBSRC. The post holder will work closely with me on:

1) their research,

2) teaching and supervising students and post-docs to deliver current projects,

3) developing new methods and ideas, and

4) securing funding.

This post is an excellent step towards an independent group leader, in-depth industry training, or a less stressful academic job. I have personally been a core scientist here at Roslin for several years - this was one of the best career decisions I have made to date;)

We are looking for candidates with PhD in quantitative genetics, breeding, statistics, or related fields. Preference will be given to candidates with significant research and development experience in these fields. While our university admin is yet to process the post documentation, we are open to inquiries and expressions of interest (contact me at gregor.gorjanc@roslin.ed.ac.uk).
