hela Sverige The University of Gothenburg tackles society's challenges with diverse knowledge. 56 000 students and 6 600 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research and attractive study programmes attract researchers and students from around the world. With new knowledge and new perspectives, the University contributes to a better future.Postdoc in natural science, specializing in conservation genomics
At the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences (BioEnv) we have teaching and research activities that stretch from the alpine ecosystem, through forests, cultivated land and streams, all the way into the marine environment. In these environments we study different levels of biological organisation from genes, individuals and populations, to communities and ecosystems. We work within ecology, evolution, physiology, systematics and combinations of these fields in order to understand the impact of natural and anthropogenic changes of the environment.
The department is placed at two different localities: in Natrium located on Medicinareberget in Gothenburg and Kristineberg Marine Research Station located in Fiskebäckskil. The current position is placed at both localities.
Subject area
Biology
Duties
Techniques used within the project will involve development of a SNP array, molecular lab work (DNA extractions and DNA quantification), bioinformatics and population genomic data analysis. Some of the work will be conducted in the field, collecting tissue samples. Specific research topics associated with the research project include connectivity analyses, estimating dispersal from genomic data, and also possibly to support biophysical modelling of transport in the Skagerrak area. It is also possible to join other ongoing projects within the larger MARHAB project, depending on the skills and interests of the candidate and time allowing. There will also be opportunities for taking part in departmental teaching activities in population genetics courses. The candidate will work in close collaboration with a network of scientists both nationally and internationally.
Eligibility
The eligibility criteria for employing teaching staff are set out in Chapter 4 of the Higher Education Ordinance and in the Appointment Procedure for Teaching Posts at the University of Gothenburg.
To be eligible for appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree or a foreign degree that is deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree. This eligibility requirement must be met before the employment decision is made. In the first instance, those who have completed their degree no more than three years prior to the end of the application period shall be considered. Those who have completed their degree more than three years prior to the end of the application period may also be considered in the first instance if special grounds exist. Special grounds relate to leave of absence due to illness, parental leave, commissions of trust within union organizations, service within the defense services or other similar circumstances, as well as clinical service or service/assignment relevant to the subject area.
Assessment criteria
Required qualifications for the employment:
• To be eligible for appointment as a postdoc, the applicant is required to have a doctoral degree in molecular biology, population genetics (genomics) / marine biology or equivalent.
• Excellent communication skills, written and spoken, in English are necessary since we work in an international environment.
• The ability to work independently in the field.
• The fellow needs to have previous experience of population genomic data analysis or equivalent molecular lab work and assay development.
Desirable qualifications for the employment:
• Basic knowledge in coastal ecology.
• Experience of statistics and bioinformatics.
• Previous experience of field work in coastal environments with habitat-forming coastal marine species and/or top predators.
• Laboratory animal science courses, boat driving skills and a scientific diving license are meriting.
Scientific quality in earlier performed work as judged from publications and CV as well as personal motivation to contribute to the here described project (as judged from personal letter and potential interviews) is of large importance.
Personal qualifications:
We are looking for a candidate who is able to work independently with a good ability to solve problems on a short notice. The position also requires the fellow to be communicative not only within the scientific society but also with policy makers and other stakeholders. The candidate must therefore be flexible and enjoy collaborating with others.
Employment
The employment is a temporary employment during two years, extent 100 %, placed at the Department of Biological and Environmental Science. Starting date is planned 2024-04-01 or upon agreement.
