Crynodeb
Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.
We are seeking to appoint a Research Associate to join Professor Mariani's team (www.marianilab.org) based at the LJMU School of Biological & Environmental Sciences to be a key driver in a new three-year project funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
The research aims to explore the role of eDNA analysis in the reconstruction of food webs. We will use eDNA metabarcoding to characterise communities in disparate aquatic environments and use these species inventories in conjunction with existing prey-predator interaction databases to build food web models, whose properties will then be compared with food webs built using direct, gut content and stable isotope based methods.
You will be involved in sampling activities in the UK, Italy, and Iceland; you will lead eDNA and diet metabarcoding analyses. You will also be responsible for bioinformatic analyses, manuscript writing, and be prepared to engage in a suite of outreach and science communication initiatives.
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Stefano Mariani:
In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.
This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.
If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
LJMU is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds and communities irrespective of age, transgender status, disability, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity and religion or belief. All our appointments are made on merit.
