Ref.nr SU FV-0088-15. Application deadline: 2015-02-10.
Project description
We are recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to work on the project "Evolutionary consequences of plant mating system shifts". Plant mating systems, such as shifts from outcrossing to selfing, are expected to have a marked effect on the impact of natural selection, and we are interested in quantifying these effects using population genomic and phylogenomic data. For a recent example of our work on this topic in Capsella rubella, see e.g. Slotte et al. 2013 Nature Genetics 45:831-5.
The postdoctoral associate will be based in the Slotte lab (
http://www.tanjaslottelab.se ), a part of the Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Plant Science, Stockholm University (
http://www.su.se/emb/english/ ). We are located at Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm (
http://www.scilifelab.se ), which holds considerable expertise in high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics.
Eligibility
The applicant must hold a doctoral degree from an accredited college/university in population genetics, phylogenetics, phylogeography, or a related subject relevant to the project. Previous experience of population genetic analyses and molecular genetic lab work is desirable. Previous experience of population genetic analyses of mating system effects, phylogeographic analyses, and/or phylogenetic analyses of factors determining rates of diversification is especially advantageous. Experience of plant sampling/field work and knowledge in R/Python is beneficial. The successful candidate must be highly motivated, creatively thinking and have a record of high quality scientific publications. Excellent written and spoken English language skills are required.
Terms of employment
The position is a two year full-time appointment as a postdoctoral research associate. The position is available immediately. The starting date is negotiable.
Selection criteria
The successful applicant will be selected based on the qualifications specified above. References and interviews will be used during the selection process to assess the qualifications of the applicants.
