Researcher i termisk genetik av zebrafisk - Göteborgs Universitet
The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 58 000 students and 6800 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future. At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) we have teaching and research activities that stretch from the alpine ecosystem, through forests, cultivated land and streams, all the way into the marine environment. In these environments we study different levels of biological organisation from genes, individuals and populations to communities and ecosystems. We work within ecology, evolution, physiology, systematics, and combinations of these fields in order to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic changes of the environment. The department is placed at two different localities: in the building Natrium located on Medicinareberget in Gothenburg and Kristineberg Center in Fiskebäckskil. The current position is placed at Natrium.
- This project will focus on the genetics underlying thermal tolerance and performance in zebrafish.
- It will also investigate the thermal tolerance of warm-adapted zebrafish larvae.
- The project may involve collaborations with, and travel to, other universities
- The project will be lab based, working on established zebrafish lines that already exist in the Jutfelt lab
- This employment includes testing thermal performance and tolerance of zebrafish, leading zebrafish reproduction including artificial selection, analysing data, and writing articles.
- Techniques used within the project include thermal tolerance assays, early life stage work, cell lines, GMO zebrafish.
- Shorter periods may also be spent travelling to other universities.
- To be eligible for employment as a researcher, the applicant must have a PhD exam in a relevant subje
- The University of Gothenburg is a state authority, which means special benefits, more holidays and a great pension.
