Hello all,
sorry for cross-posting.

Post-Doctoral Position in Marine Fisheries Genetics – UCD Dublin, 
Ireland

Applications are invited for a 2-year postdoctoral position in the 
School of Biological & Environmental Science at UCD Dublin, working 
with Dr Stefano Mariani in a newly-established group focusing on the 
evolutionary ecology and fisheries genetics of marine animals. The 
research is funded by BIM, the Irish Marine Fisheries Board, and is 
aimed at understanding the patterns of stock structure of the common 
whelk (Buccinum undatum) in Irish waters, using molecular genetic 
markers. The project will also look at the factors underlying the 
marked variation in shell morphology observed among whelk populations, 
by rearing wild-caught animals under “common garden” conditions.
The ideal candidate should possess a PhD in empirical population 
genetics or evolutionary biology, though we welcome applicants from 
other disciplines such as ecology or marine biology. Proficiency in 
molecular laboratory techniques would be very advantageous, as would 
some experience of morphological analyses.  A strong commitment to 
timely publication and interdisciplinary research is critical.
The appointee will join the Marine Biodiversity, Ecology & Evolution 
Group and the Molecular Genetics Lab, which together comprise 11 PhD 
students, one Post-doctoral fellow and three academic staff, working 
on a broad range of topics from comparative genomics, molecular 
phylogenetics and population genetics, to fisheries science, community 
ecology and ecosystem management.

Application procedure:
Please send a 1-page covering letter and a CV no longer than 3 pages, 
plus names and emails of three people who can be contacted for 
references, to: [log in to unmask]
Closing date for applications: 30th September (interviews in mid 
october).
Project start date: 1st December.
Salary: in excess of 36,000 € per annum.
Committed to Equal Opportunities.

Feel free to contact me for any further information about the project 
and related issues.

Best,

Stefano Mariani
