We are looking for a new Postdoctoral Research Fellow to contribute to research elucidating the functional basis of resistance to sea lice in salmonid species.
The Opportunity:
We are looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to coordinate sampling, prepare libraries and interpret the results of spatial transcriptomics experiments aimed at understanding differential sea lice resistance between salmonid species. The post is within Dr Diego Robledo´s research group at The Roslin Institute, University of Edinburgh.
The final goal of the position is to determine the mechanism or mechanisms of resistance to sea lice present in certain Pacific salmon species.
The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD or be near to completing a PhD in a related field (i.e. molecular and cellular biology, immunology), and will have experience in molecular biology. This post will offer the opportunity to work in the rapidly developing field of aquaculture genetics and genomics. The successful candidate will have the chance to collaborate with leading researchers in the field and to present results at (inter)national meetings and conferences.
For informal enquiries, please contact diego.robledo@roslin.ed.ac.uk
Your skills and attributes for success:
· Doctorate-level training in relevant biological science.
· Experience in molecular biology.
· The ability to communicate complex concepts (including a relevant, peer- reviewed publication track record and attendance at major conferences).
· Skills and experience working on collaborative scientific projects.

About Us
As a world-leading research-intensive University, we are here to address tomorrow’s greatest challenges. Between now and 2030 we will do that with a values-led approach to teaching, research and innovation, and through the strength of our relationships, both locally and globally.
About the Team
The Roslin Institute is a world-leading centre for animal bioscience research and has a distinctive niche within the UK National Institutes of Bioscience, supported strategically by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The Institute moved to a new £60M state-of-the-art building at the Easter Bush Campus in 2011, which is now occupied by > 670 people including ~ 65 Group Leaders and Career Track Fellows, other research and support staff, students and visitors and ~90 staff from Scotland’s Rural College. The Institute has a vibrant programme of postgraduate research, with 176 PhD students registered at the time of writing. Research at the Institute is organised across three research divisions (Genetics & Genomics, Infection & Immunity and Developmental Biology) and three Institute Strategic Programmes (BBSRC funded from 2017-2022) that integrate many disciplines (Blueprints for Healthy Animals, Control of Infectious Diseases and Improving Animal Productivity & Welfare). Crosscutting themes in Epidemiology and Population Health and in Clinical Sciences link research at the Institute to clinical activities in the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and support the research activities of clinical academic staff. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), a joint submission from The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, The Roslin Institute and Scotland’s Rural College was ranked 1st by research power (volume x quality) in the category of Agriculture, Veterinary and Food Science.
Over £200M has been invested in physical infrastructure at Easter Bush since 2008, including recently in the National Avian Research Facility and the Charnock Bradley Building, which houses the Roslin Innovation Centre – an incubator space for agritech start-up companies and spin out companies to commercialise the Institute’s intellectual property. Investments continue, as the Institute is a major partner in the new Agri-Tech Centre for Innovation Excellence in Livestock, which together with the University, funds the construction of a £25 M Large Animal Research and Imaging Facility. The Centre for Tropical Livestock Genetics and Health, primed by investment from the Gates Foundation and Department for International Development, aims to unlock the genetic potential of farmed animals by dissecting genotype-by-environment interactions to sustainably improve animal productivity in low- and middle- income countries.
The Institute’s income exceeds £30M p.a., around 50% of which derives from the BBSRC via strategic and competitive funding. Our focus on improving farming systems, animal productivity and welfare, and the control of animal and zoonotic diseases is key to delivery of the BBSRC’s strategic priorities for Agriculture & Food Security, Veterinary Vaccinology and Bioscience for Health. This research is expedited by extensive interactions with industry, including via ongoing platform agreements with major animal breeding and pharmaceutical companies. The addition of our own £15M equity-funded commercialisation vehicle, Roslin Technologies Ltd, will accelerate translation of research at the Institute in the years to come. The Institute holds a prestigious Athena SWAN Gold award in recognition of our commitment to advance the representation of women in science.
