hela Sverige The Swedish Museum of Natural History (
http://www.nrm.se) 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 research at the Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics focuses on computational phylogenetics, population genetics and genomics. More information is available at:
www.nrm.se/en/forskningochsamlingar/bioinformatikochgenetik.9000580.html The postdoc will be based at the Centre for Palaeogenetics (CPG) currently being built as a joint venture between the Swedish Museum of Natural History and Stockholm University, and will be a part of Love Dalén's research group (see
www.palaeogenetics.com/adna). The postdoc will be working within a FORMAS-funded project aimed at investigating the palaeogenomic consequences of Pleistocene climate change.Tasks: The postdoc will conduct both ancient DNA laboratory analyses, as well as computational analyses of palaeogenomic data from a wide range of different animal species, with the aim to track evolutionary changes through time ad their relation to past climate change. An equally important aim of the position is that it will constitute an important step for the postdoctoral researcher towards securing a position as an independent researcher. Because of this, we will also encourage the postdoctoral researcher to design and pursue additional projects, to obtain experience in student supervision, and to develop his/her scientific network through collaborations and participation in scientific meetings.Qualifications: The ideal candidate is a creative and independent researcher who obtained his/her PhD thesis no more than 3 years before the start of the postdoc position advertised here. The candidate should have obtained a PhD in biology or a related field. A record of scientific achievement in bioinformatics and computational genomics is essential, as is previous experience in handling NGS data using scripts and analysis pipelines. Additional merits include: · Experience in computational analysis of ancient or historical genomic data· Proficiency in wet lab analyses of ancient or historical DNA samples· Experience working in a Unix/Linux environment and programming skills · Excellent communication skills in English. Starting date: The starting date is 1st of September 2019, or soon thereafter, and the position is for two years. For more information about the position, contact Love Dalén, (
