Post-doc position (2 years) on phylogenetic studies of the role of speciation in macroevolution
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.
A much debated issue in evolutionary biology is the relation between micro- and macroevolution, in particular the question whether or not differences between species are the cumulative effect of microevolutionary processes taking place in established species. The research group of Dr. Folmer Bokma investigates that question by using phylogenetic analyses of nucleotide sequences, gene (co-)
expression, and morphological traits. Highly motivated candidates with relevant expertise in bioinformatics, molecular genetics, or mathematical statistics are encouraged to get in contact.
The position is available at the earliest possible time point. For further information, please contact Dr. Folmer Bokma, Department of Ecology and Environmental Sciences, (+46 90 786 7121) or
folmer.bokma@emg.umu.se , or look at

Your application, in English, must include a short summary (max 1 page) of your previous experience, a short description (max. 1 page) of how you could contribute to the research, a curriculum vitae with a list of publications, and names and contact details of three references.
