Starting date as soon as possible. BGE is a joint project of ERGA (European Reference Genome Atlas) and BIOSCAN Europe funded by the EU commission for 3.5 years and involving 33 partner institutions from across Europe. The project has the overarching aim of accelerating the use of genomic science to enhance understanding of biodiversity, monitor biodiversity changes, and guide interventions to address its decline. The position is part of the ERGA stream of BGE, which aims to develop this pan-European node of the Earth Biogenome Project (EBP) to create high quality reference genomes for all Eukaryotic species in a distributed, equitable, and capacity-building manner. As an affiliate of EBP, ERGA also serves as an umbrella for national and regional nodes of EBP within Europe (e.g. Earth Biogenome Project Norway [EBP-Nor], Darwin Tree of Life [DToL] in the UK). The deadline for the application is September 26th. For information please look here and also apply via this link: https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/231207/coordinator-of-community-sampling-for-the-biodiversity-genomics-europe-bge-project About the University of Oslo Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) is a research centre and a section at the Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo. CEES combines a broad spectrum of disciplines (population biology, genomics, statistics, mathematical modelling) to foster the concept of ecology as a driving force of evolution via selective processes, with a corresponding influence of evolutionary changes on ecology. CEES has over 140 members (Professors (14), postdocs/researchers (40), PhDs (25), Master's students (40) and technical and administrative staff) and many guest researchers. The members represent 25 nationalities and constitute a vibrant and creative research environment. CEES coordinates several international networks. The total budget = 140 million NOK (about 45 externally funded research projects). CEES successfully completed its 10 year status of Centre of Excellence (CoE) in 2017. The Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo is Norway's most comprehensive natural history collection. For almost 200 years, specimens of animals, fungi, plants, rocks, minerals and fossils have been collected, studied and preserved here. The museum is located at Økern and in the beautiful Botanical Garden, which is not only popular for recreation, but is a scientific collection in itself. Job description We are seeking a coordinator for the collection of high-quality organismal samples for whole-genome sequencing and corresponding metadata from the ERGA community. Tasks will include coordination, guidance and oversight of sample acquisition from ERGA members across Europe under deployment and extension of reproducible standards.
