*Job Opening: Postdoctoral Fellow in Fisheries Bioinformatics*


*Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes ResearchSchool for Environment and
SustainabilityUniversity of Michigan*

*Summary*
A postdoctoral fellowship is available for a highly qualified individual to
join the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR:
https://ciglr.seas.umich.edu/ ). The successful candidate will work with a
dynamic team of scientists at CIGLR, the University of Michigan School for
Environment and Sustainability ( SEAS <https://seas.umich.edu/> ), and the
U.S. Geological Survey Great Lakes Science Center to advance understanding
of species relationships of Great Lakes prey fish (coregonines) and support
the conservation and restoration of native fish populations. Specifically,
this project will help build bioinformatics capacity and determine
baselines of historical and contemporary fish diversity across the Great
Lakes.

The primary focus of this project is to examine the role of selection,
plasticity, and hybridization in the species relationships of Great Lakes
coregonines. The candidate will be welcome to explore any additional
research questions that arise from analyzing the genomic data. The postdoc
will be expected to maintain a strong record of scholarly publication and
presentations at scientific conferences and public meetings. This position
offers mentoring for scientific and professional development.

Note: This position will be a one (1) full-time term limited appointment
with the possibility of renewal.

*Qualifications*

   - A Ph.D. in biology, bioinformatics, oceanography, or environmental
   science, or a similar field, with a strong background in bioinformatics
   - Experience analyzing large and complex genomic datasets derived from
   field and/or laboratory samples
   - Experience with high-performance computing, Linux command line,
   scripting languages (Perl, Python, R and/or Bash), and databases (e.g.,
   SQL), various bioinformatic software, and statistical approaches to `omics
   data
   - Demonstrated ability to work independently in a research setting, as
   well as collaboratively as a team member
   - Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to lead the
   development of manuscripts for refereed journal publication are needed
