About The British University in Egypt

Basic information and contact details for The British University in Egypt

institution
The formation of the British University in Egypt (BUE) arose from a 1998 Memorandum of Cooperation between the UK and Egyptian governments. It was envisaged that such an institution would produce graduates of UK standards for key sectors of the Egyptian economy, particularly in the areas of engineering, computer science and business studies. The academic staff consists of highly qualified British, Egyptian and international academics experienced in the British system of higher education. BUE is not only an educational institution, but also an academic, social and cultural centre with much to offer students of any age, nationality or social background. The university operates within the framework of the UK Quality Assurance Agency and provides degrees in a similar style and to an equivalent standard to UK programmes. BUE, Queen Margaret University (QMU) and London South Bank University (LSBU) have developed formal partnerships, under which the two universities validate BUE’s undergraduate programmes. BUE is now firmly established and well placed to establish a global reputation as a high quality teaching and research institution.

They see themselves as personalities who need space for continuous striving for top international research and scientific excellence. At the same time they enjoy support and liberties that are not a given at other institutions. Does that sound like something for you? Welcome to our team! Your personal sphere of play: Your future position is at the Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research in the Plant Phylogenomics Group within the Division of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany. Research in our group focuses on how genome-level processes (e.g. gene duplication, horizontal gene transfer, introgression) and natural selection have shaped the morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic diversity of plants. Ongoing projects include the evolution of floral scent in Onagraceae, the evolution of sexual systems in Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae), and the origin and genomic basis of heterotrophy in liverworts. Generally, all projects in the group address two common questions: What are the genomic signatures that coincide with the origin of fundamental life history traits, and what is the relationship between these processes/traits and diversification? To address these questions, we use a diversity of approaches, all with a heavy emphasis on using both gene and species phylogenies. We are currently offering a postdoctoral position for up to six years. This position is not funded by a third-party project and therefore allows the successful candidate to develop their own projects within the scientific framework of the Plant Phylogenomics Group or related areas. Of course, collaborating on and lending expertise to existing projects is also expected. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong wet-lab experience in genomics and extensive experience in phylogenomics and molecular systematics. We welcome applicants who would bring a new organismal focus to the group and are open to people working on any lineage of land plants. The Department of Botany and Biodiversity Research is part of the faculty of Life Sciences with 10,000 students and a highly international team of > 1000 employees. Your future tasks: Participate in research, teaching, mentoring, and group administration, which means: You will continue to build your independent research profile in your field You participate in and contribute to ongoing research projects You develop new projects and apply for third-party funding You publish in international journals as both the lead author and as a co-author on papers from the group to which you contribute You serve as the instructor of record for courses related to your area of expertise within the scope of the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement You supervise or co-supervise MS and PhD students in the group, with an emphasis on training students in skills related to your area of specialization You contribute to group administration, such as the preparation of reports and personnel management You contribute to the maintenance of wet-lab and dry-lab infrastructure This is part of your personality: Completed doctoral/PhD studies in plant systematics and phylogenomics, or a closely related field. Candidates who have not yet completed their PhD studies but can demonstrate a date of completion prior to the start of this position will also be considered. A strong record of publication in journals related to plant systematics and plant comparative genomics Extensive wet-lab experience in plant genomics (preparation of genomic libraries for long-read sequencing etc.) Expertise in at least one lineage of land plants (i.e., a taxonomic focus) Experience with at least one coding language or a strong background in statistics Experience with high-performance computing in a Linux environment A record of presenting your research at scientific conferences Excellent knowledge of written and spoken English (C1) A commitment to collaboration and communication within a team What we offer: Work-life balance: Our employees enjoy flexible working hours, remote/hybrid and/or part-time work (upon agreement). Inspiring working atmosphere: You are a part of an international academic team in a healthy and fair working environment.
