A three-year postdoctoral research position is available studying the evolutionary genetics of sexually antagonistic effects in a wild population of red deer on the Isle of Rum, NW Scotland.
The research will combine long-term lifehistory data on individually-marked animals with quantitative genetic pedigree analyses to investigate the genetic basis of, and the patterns of natural selection on, inter-sexual conflict in a polygynous species.
It will test for sexually antagonistic genetic effects, quantify the selection pressures generating them, determine the interactions between sexually-antagonistic effects and environmental conditions, and explore a possible mechanistic basis using endocrinological analyses.
Experience of statistical analysis of complex data sets is necessary, and experience of quantitative genetics is desirable.
The project is funded by a Natural Environment Research Council grant to Loeske Kruuk and Josephine Pemberton, Instituteof Evolutionary Biology (IEB), University of Edinburgh UK and Tim Clutton-Brock, University of Cambridge, UK.
IEB Edinburgh is a world-leading centre for evolutionary ecology, and the postdoc will join a large multi-disciplinary groupworking on the evolutionary genetics of wild animal populations (http://wildevolution.biology.ed.ac.uk/).
Starting date: 1st April 2008.
Fixed Term: 3 years
