The project focuses on the impact of mutualism breakdown on the genome, using the ant-plant symbiotic clade Hydnophytinae (Rubiaceae). The Hydnophytinae contain 105 epiphytic plant species in Australasia, and involve plants with several levels of mutualistic dependence on ants: facultative species inhabited by generalist arboreal ants, obligate species depending on one or two specialized ant species, and species that have secondarily lost the association with ants. The Hydnophytinae offers unmatched evolutionary replication for studying mutualism breakdown due to its abundant breakdown events relative to clade size. The project, funded by ERC/UKRI, is led by Professor Guillaume Chomicki and will investigate the consequences of mutualism breakdown, using Hydnophytinae as a model system. The successful applicant will have the necessary experience and skills to contribute to the research project by leading the part on comparative genomics and phylogenomics. In a nutshell, this will involve (1) building a solid phylogenomic framework for all 105 Hydnophytinae species plus outgroups, and (2) assemble and annotate genomes for all these species, (3) to study the evolution the mutualistic gene toolkit (contraction and expansion, selection), and (4) ask whether there are genome-wide signatures of mutualism breakdown.\n\n\nThis post is fixed term for four years for this fixed period only. \n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Durham, United Kingdom","location1":"유럽","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://www.aplitrak.com/?adid=bGlseS5yeWRlci4zMDMzNi44NzgxQGR1cmhhbS5hcGxpdHJhay5jb20","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":"£37,099 - £44,263 per annum","original_id":"UNI|355780","original_domain":"timeshighereducation.com","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/355780","original_isPremium":null,"closeType":1,"closedAt":"2023-12-04T00:00:00.000Z","requireEducation":10,"managerTel":null,"managerFax":null,"managerEmail":null,"managerName":"DURHAM UNIVERSITY","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":"Durham, United Kingdom","log_hit":0,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"del_yn":"N","createdAt":"2023-10-23T11:43:38.000Z","updatedAt":"2023-10-23T11:43:38.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":588,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"Durham University","name_en":"Durham University","name_alt":null,"introduction":"Durham’s University College was founded in 1832 before it was granted a Royal Charter in 1837 by King William IV, making it Durham University.It is a Russell Group institution with a staff count of over 3,000, more than 30 per cent of whom are of non-UK origin. Symbolic of its international approach, the university welcomes over 4,500 international students from 156 countries worldwide.&nbsp;Durham University attracts around 17,500 students of all levels. Roughly 21 per cent of its student body are of non-UK origin, and with staff and students combined, around 150 countries and nationalities are represented.&nbsp;The university is made up of three faculties: arts and humanities, science and social science, and health. It comprises 16 colleges with 25 departments and schools that come together to offer over 200 undergraduate and 130 postgraduate courses, as well as research programmes.&nbsp;The Durham University estate is spread across two campuses and spans around 227 hectares of land. The estate is home to part of a UNESCO world heritage site (in recognition of Durham’s historical and architectural importance) and comprises several listed buildings,The main campus is in the city of Durham, where 14 of the 16 colleges and most of the academic schools are located. The Queen’s campus is in the town of Stockton-on-Tees, around 30 miles from Durham, which was established in 1992 and is located on the river Tees.&nbsp;Sport is a key aspect of student life at Durham where the majority of students regularly participate in one or more sports.The Durham University alumni community is known as Dunelm and include the England cricketer Andrew Strauss, founder of the Eden Project, Tim Smit, and the journalist Sir Harold Evans.","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/uni_profile_69451_846972594590.jpg","homepageUrl":"https://www.dur.ac.uk/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/durham-university","country":"GB","state":"Durham and Stockton-","location":"유럽","address":"Stockton Road, Durham, County Durham, DH1 3LE, United Kingdom","phoneNumber":"+44 191 334 2000","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1832-01-28T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-03-13T12:04:52.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/platinum_DURHAM_637271578745.png","default_1_bannerImageMobile":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/platinum_m_DURHAM_1572599223688.png","default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/production/images/1671688438468/special_Durham University.jpg","default_3_bannerImageMobile":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/production/images/1671688434745/special_Durham University.jpg"}}
