Postdoctoral pose inwards population / evolutionary genetics
Course(s) Offered: Genetics
Course Level: Graduate (postdoctoral research)
Provider: Stellenbosch University
Country to Study in: South Africa
Scholarship Description
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 postdoctoral pose is available amongst the focus on Genetic Diversity too Population Structure of farmed kob, Argyrosomus japonicus too Argyrosomus inodorus, too the potential genetic impacts of farmed fish on associated wild fish populations.

Eligibility
Minimum requirements:
- PhD amongst specialization inwards Population and/or Evolutionary Genetics or whatever closely related discipline.
- Candidates should accept proficiency inwards the relevant population analysis software packages too sense amongst microsatellite information volition endure an added advantage.
- The ideal candidate should every bit good accept proven projection management sense too mightiness to laid upwards deadlines too come across milestones.

The successful candidate volition primarily endure responsible for:
One pose is available for this award
Sponsorship duration
This pose is available for three years too rootage of duties is laid upwards for Jan 2011.
Scholarship benefits
Opportunity for a fully-paid pose for the amount duration of the research
Method of Application
Interested researchers are requested to ship their CV including details of at to the lowest degree ii references to Dr. Rouvay Roodt-Wilding at roodt@sun.ac.za
DEADLINES:
Applications should endure submitted on or earlier 26 September 2010.
PLEASE NOTE:
Exciting novel manufacture initiatives are before long underway that are exploring the civilization potential of indigenous marine finfish inwards South Africa. Two such species currently nether investigation are the dusky kob Argyrosomus japonicus too argent kob A. inodorus.
The proposed cage farming operations along the South African coastline have, however, raised concerns from both the [public] too conservation management regime nigh the potential genetic impacts of farmed fish on wild populations.
The electrical flow projection is thence aimed at the identification of populations or stocks along the southern African coast followed past times the institution of a broodstock management programme that tin aid inwards the appropriate placement of farms too hatcheries every bit good every bit too minimize the potential negative genetic acquit upon of farmed animals on wild fish populations.
Application Deadline: 26 September 2010

Fields of study
The successful candidate volition primarily endure responsible for:
- The evolution of molecular genetic markers that enable the detection of fine-scale patterns of genetic variation inwards populations amongst potentially shallow genetic sub-structure.
- The identification of populations/stocks of A. japonicus too A. inodorus along the southern African coast based on species-specific microsatellites.
- Assisting amongst the formulation of recommendations for kob farming along the South African coast.
