It's Phylomania Month!
by Michael Charleston 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

Forget the US Election (unless you have to vote there and haven't) — November is all about Phylomania. This is our 16th Season! If you haven't yet registered<http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2024.html> for our world famous conference on theoretical phylogenetics, there's still time! Face to face attendance is great, but if you can only register for online attendance, that's free! — So if your university is typical just now and tightening belts, you can always rock up from the comfort of your own home/office via Zoom. Join us, won't you? Oh — here's the conference page: http://www.maths.utas.edu.au/phylomania/phylomania2024.html (Don't be alarmed that it's only http, not https — registration and payments are secure.)

Postdoc position at the Menzies
by Bennet McComish 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Hi all, I'm looking to recruit a postdoc to investigate the evolution of multiple sclerosis risk. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will be involved in NHMRC and MS Australia funded research. This work uses population genomics to identify functional variation under selection at loci associated with multiple sclerosis risk, improving our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the disease. You will apply statistical and genomics expertise to develop pipelines to detect balancing selection in the major histocompatibility (MHC) region of the genome using large population datasets. This position will offer the opportunity for you to further develop leadership skills through planning and leading statistical genomics research and support the training and development of junior research staff and students. What we're looking for: + A PhD or equivalent in statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, or a related field. + Experience in the analysis of genomic data including practical experience with the use of high performance computing for the analysis of genome sequence data, and ideally with a focus on analysing immune system genes in the MHC region. + Demonstrated skills in bioinformatics relevant programming languages such as python, R, or perl. + A good record of, and continuing commitment to, research that has achieved national recognition and made worthwhile contributions to the field of statistical genetics, demonstrated by a record of quality publications, presentations at conferences and preferably success in securing external competitive and other funding relative to career stage and opportunity. + A record of contributing to building and maintaining effective and productive links locally and nationally with the discipline, profession, industry (where relevant) and wider community. + Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, as well as to collaborate successfully with other researchers/clinicians and be able to prioritise tasks and meet deadlines. This is a full time, 1 year Fixed-Term position based in Hobart, Tasmania, with part-time hours considered for the right candidate. Details at: https://careers.utas.edu.au/cw/en/job/500426/postdoctoral-research-fellow-s… Applications close Monday, 25 November 2024, 11.55pm AEDT Please share with any potential candidates, and contact me for further information.
