hela Sverige The Swedish Museum of Natural History is one of the leading institutions of its kind in Europe. It combines a venerable tradition and unique collections with cutting-edge research in geology, paleontology and biology.
The Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics is focused on research in computational phylogenetics, population genetics and genomics. We run a DNA sequencing facility and host several national and international infrastructures.
The Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics is looking to fill a postdoctoral position in Bayesian biodiversity phylogenomics.
Tasks
Our group develops methods for Bayesian phylogenetic and phylogenomic inference, which has numerous applications across the life sciences. We focus on applications to problems in evolutionary biology, biogeography and biodiversity, but the software we produce (MrBayes and RevBayes) is widely used for other problem areas as well.
In this project, funded by the Swedish Research Council, we will focus on analyses of data from massively parallel sequencing efforts using RevBayes, our R-like computational environment. RevBayes is based on graphical model concepts, and is primarily intended for Bayesian analysis of complex evolutionary models. Within this general context, the successful candidate will have great freedom in formulating her or his project. The project can be focused on method development or empirical analyses, but should include a substantial computational component.
Qualifications
We expect you to have a doctoral degree in evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, mathematics, statistics, or computer science. The PhD degree should have been received no more than three years before the deadline for applications. Regardless of your background, you should be familiar with biological research problems, be comfortable with mathematical and statistical reasoning, and have solid computational and programming skills.
We expect that you will be creative and independent while being a good team player. Fluency in spoken and written English is essential. We will pay particular attention to scientific talent and potential.
Starting date. Desired starting date is early fall 2015, but there is some flexibility in accommodating candidate preferences. The position is for two years.
