Postdoc position at University of Edinburgh, UK: Sexually-antagonistic effects in red deer

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 life
history 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, Institute
of 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 group
working on the evolutionary genetics of wild animal populations (http://wildevolution.biology.ed.ac.uk/).

Starting date: 1st April 2008.

Fixed Term: 3 years
Salary Scale: £27,466 - £32,796 p.a.
Vacancy Reference: 3008185

Closing date for applications: 23rd November 2007
