Salary: Grade 6 £26,264-£29,541 or Grade 7 £32,267 - £36,298
These two postdoctoral positions are part of a project entitled ‘The ecology of metabolic phenotypes: from cells to populations’, funded by an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to Prof. Neil B. Metcalfe. The overall aim of the project is to test whether variability in metabolic traits is maintained through context-dependent fitness, using two species of freshwater fish as a study system.
The fish ecophysiology postdoc will be the main person in charge of designing and implementing the experimental work on fish, while the cellular physiology postdoc will be in charge of lab assays of ROS production, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function (working with Prof. Colin Selman, University of Glasgow) and protein turnover (working with Dr Ian D. McCarthy, Bangor University). The team funded by this ERC grant will also include a full-time research technician who will work jointly in the running of the experiments, a part-time technician assisting in lab assays, and animal care technicians.
For informal enquiries, please contact Neil Metcalfe, email Neil.Metcalfe@glasgow.ac.uk
Both posts are funded for 5 years.
