Skills

I am independent and able to plan and manage own workload as well as managing and developing junior staff. I am competent in conceiving, acquiring funding and executing/managing projects to ensure that objectives and deadlines are met to provide highest quality outputs and reporting for relevant stakeholders. I am able to lead projects and initiatives that are supportive to upper management to improve workflows and efficiency

On a technical level I am trained in frequentist and Bayesian statistics and have strong analytical and technical skills (including configuring environments for parallelisation via HPC). I like to keep up to date with things so I regularly attend courses and workshops to stay at the leading edge of analytical and conceptual advancements. For brevity I will not list all the tools I use, but here are some examples of the kinds of software tools/packages that I use regularly in my work (mostly in R, bash and python):

• Genomic data processing/filtering - Stacks, iPyrad, dDocent, ANGSD, snpAD, GATK, FastQC, VCFtools, snpeff
• Population structure and genetic diversity - Adegenet, DAPC, Admixture, Structure, Ngsadmix, PCAngsd, FineStructure, FineRADstructure, EEMS
• Phylogenetics/phylogenomics - RAxML, Astral-III, BEAST, SVDquartets, Treemix
• Demographic history - ∂a∂i, SMC++, Stairway plot, Extended Bayesian Skyline plots
• Local adaptation - RDA, LFMM, PCAdapt, BayPass
• Spatial data analysis - many R packages for spatial data manipulation and analysis (e.g. rgdal, raster, rgeos, sf, SDMTools, maptools, sp, rgbif, spdep, spatialreg)
• Species distribution modelling - single algorithm (e.g. random forest, maxent, glm, boosted regression trees) ensemble modelling approaches (sdm, biomod2)
• Linear/Bayesian regression/model selection and averaging - glmulti, mumin, brms
