Requirements
- PhD in the discipline of genetics or molecular biology
- Equivalent qualifications and extensive research experience in the area of molecular evolution
- Demonstrated wet lab experience and capability to carry out NGS library preparation for genomic and/or transcriptomic sequence analyses
- Sound knowledge and understanding of molecular biology and its application in the field of evolutionary biology
- Demonstrated ability to undertake independent research and successfully oversee postgraduate and honours students to completion
- Track record of quality publications and conference presentations relative to opportunity
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate across disciplines
