hela Sverige Post-doc position (2 years) on the molecular ecology of land-locked stickleback populations in Sweden
The Department of Ecology and Environmental Science has about 170 members including 50 PhD students (for more information see the department’s homepage:
www.emg.umu.se/en. See also
www.umea.se for a general presentation of Umeå and the University.
We are looking for a post-doc to study local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in isolated populations of sticklebacks in northern Sweden. After the most recent ice age, some stickleback populations became land-locked in ponds in which they are the only fish species, while other populations coexist with predators. This project aims to study the effect of predator presence on local adaptation. The successful applicant will genotype sticklebacks from natural populations, perform common garden breeding experiments, and analyse genetic and phenotypic data. As a joint project of the research groups of Professor Göran Englund (spatial fish ecology) Professor Frank Johansson (phenotypic plasticity) and Dr. Folmer Bokma (phylogenetics) this offers an interesting, cross-disciplinary scientific environment. Highly motivated candidates with relevant expertise in ecology and molecular genetics are encouraged to get in contact. Previous experience with stickleback research is considered an advantage.
The position is available at the earliest possible time point. For further information, please contact Dr. Folmer Bokma, (+46-(0)90-786 71 21) or
folmer.bokma@emg.umu.se , or look at
www.emg.umu.se/en/researchers/folmer-bokma.html.To qualify for the position you should have a PhD degree or equivalent, preferably not more than three years old. Your application, in English, must include a short summary (max 1 page) of your previous experience, curriculum vitae, list of publications, and names and contact details of three references.
