This position is supervised by Dr. Oleksandr Holovachov and is a part of the project "Systematics of poorly known marine nematodes of the class Chromadorea from Sweden" funded by the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative. The main goal of the project is to describe the diversity of marine nematodes in Sweden by focusing on poorly studied genera and families from the class Chromadorea, including descriptions of new taxa. Molecular data obtained during the project will be used to analyse phylogenetic relationships within the class Chromadorea and to expand the reference dataset used in metabarcoding.
Varaktighet, arbetstid
Duration and starting date. The position is available for two years. The preferred starting date is 1 September 2018, but can be negotiated.
