Post doctoral position in genetics and
evolution of complex traits
SLU is an international
university, world class in
live and environmental
sciences. We are ranked
among the Top 100 of ca
5,000 European universities.
We have a strong research
focus, but we also offer
some of Sweden's most
in-demand educations;
veterinarian, forester, and
landscape architect.
www.slu.seAn increased understanding of the genetics and evolution of complex traits is not only of
fundamental scientific interest but is of paramount importance for future developments in
most areas of biology, including human medicine and agriculture. We aim to provide new
insights into complex-trait genetics by using and developing new computational methods in
the areas of mathematical modelling, statistical analysis and simulation. We also conduct
empirical work where we establish our own experimental animal populations and characterize
these phenotypically and genetically using e.g. genome-resequencing and high-density
genotyping - all with an aim to validate and replicate important findings. This Post-doctoral
position is an important part in this effort.
The Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics is responsible for education, research and
information on molecular genetics and bioinformatics, quantitative and statistical genetics,
genetic evaluations and strategies for sustainable breeding programs for domestic animals.
The department employs about 90 staff. Teaching at bachelor and master levels takes place
primarily within the animal and veterinary science programs. You can read more on
http://www.hgen.slu.se . The Post-doctoral researchers will join our young and growing
Computational Genetics group. We provide a supportive environment and strongly believe in
an interdisciplinary approach, so we encourage applicants with a non-standard background to
apply. We are based in Uppsala at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and also
have links with Uppsala University.
More information about our group is available at
http://www.computationalgenetics.se .
Duties: The position comprise development and use of methods, algorithms and tools for
complex trait genetic analyses as well as studies of how genetic variation in complex genetic
network contributes to expression and evolution of complex traits.
Qualifications: A successful applicant should have relevant scientific education Ph.D.degree
or similar awarded not more than three years ago at time of application and an interest in
quantitative, population and/or evolutionary genetics. A strong mathematical / statistical
background and programming experience is an advantage.
Form of employment: Temporary employment
Starting date By agreement
SLU is an equal
opportunity employer.
