hela Sverige The Centre for Theoretical Biology at the University of Gothenburg (CTBio) hereby adver-tises two postdoctoral position (junior researchers).
Several research groups in Gothenburg address basic evolutionary questions, empirically and mathematically. We have formed a centre for theoretical biology, established by the Faculty of Natural Sciences (University of Gothenburg) in November 2006. The centre brings empiri-cal biologists, mathematicians, and theoretical physicists together. Its goal is to stimulate in-terdisciplinary collaboration and scientific quality in theoretical biology. The research groups are located at different departments.
Duties
The appointees are supposed to conduct their own research independently and also to partici-pate in the planning and execution of projects coordinated at CTBio. One project (A) deals with implementation of the multispecies coalescent for genomes residing in polyploid orga-nisms. The aim of the other project, (B), is to develop coalescent models describing the meta-population dynamics of a marine invertebrate species, Littorina saxatilis. This species is a widely used model for evolutionary studies and comprehensive background data is available (evolutionary ecology, behaviour, population genetics and intraspecific phylogeny). The projects involve intense collaborations not only with theoreticians but also with evolutionary biologists.
Qualifications
Completed doctorate in Mathematics, Mathematical Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, or Biology, and documented in-depth knowledge of phylogenetics, branching processes and coalescent theory, implementation of models and familiarity with biological questions.
