![]() ![]() We are looking for an exceptional researcher to help in the development of the technology: The Post-doctoral fellow will focus on the development and optimization of a DNA amplification method on paper which will be linked to a colour change signal. To achieve this, we are partnering with academic and government institutions as well as NGOs including the Senckenberg Institute, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the South African National Biodiversity Institute, and the Snow Leopard Trust. Further funding will take the technology to a whole new level and develop assays for all the big cats for fecal, skin, hair and bone detection in parallel. We have recently acquired funding to initially develop the technology for the detection of fecal samples from caribou with the University of Calgary. The project has already attracted huge global interest and endorsement from many conservation angles. Are you interested in the interface between conservation and cutting-edge biosensor research to empower more people to be a part of the global conservation movement? McMaster University in partnership with WildTechDNA ( ) are in the process of developing a sensitive, easy-to-use, real-time, portable and inexpensive paper-based DNA technology to identify wildlife (and plants) from small samples of genetic material. If you are interested in being part of a team dedicated to changing how conservation is conducted around the world by developing new genetic technologies for conservation, and if you want to be part of the new wave of scientists paving a much-needed new path to saving the world’s dwindling biodiversity, this position is for you. ![]()
