In partnership with the Wild Salmon Center and the Molecular Genetics team at Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Salmon Watersheds Lab at Simon Fraser University (SFU) is seeking to hire a **Postdoctoral Fellow or equivalent in applied genomics.**This project will seek to identify genomic markers for ecotype and run-timing through whole genome sequencing and the use of SNP analyses.
