The project will use the DrosDel deficiency stock collection to carry out a large-scale screen for chromosome regions with defects on wing shape and its variability, and their evolutionary role will be assessed with fly lines from populations of different geographical origins. Wing shape will be quantified with state of the art methods of geometric morphometrics. You should have a strong interest in Drosophila genetics and quantitative analysis and possess a PhD degree in a relevant biological discipline. Quantitative and computing skills are essential as is the ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a research team. You will have good interpersonal and communication skills and preferably experience in Drosophila genetics, quantitative genetics, morphometrics or multivariate statistics. The starting salary will be GBP 20,311 per annum. The appointment is for a period of one year in the first instance and, upon successful completion of this probationary period, is available for a further two years. Informal enquiries can be addressed to Dr Chris Klingenberg, Tel: 0161 275 3899, E-mail: cpk@man.ac.uk. The closing date for applications is the 30 April 2004.
