Two researchers in marine ecology at the Department of Marine Ecology
The Department of Marine Ecology (www.marecol.gu.se) has 90 employees working at three beautifully situated sites; the Botany House near the Botanic Garden in the city of Gothenburg, and at two marine research stations (Kristineberg and Tjärnö) on the west coast of Sweden. The department produces internationally recognized basic and applied research. The current research positions are positioned at Marine Ecology-Tjärnö.
These research positions are affiliated to the Linnaeus centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology (CeMEB) at University of Gothenburg (www.cemeb.science.gu.se). This is a multidisciplinary centre spanning activities at three departments of the faculty. The Centre is financially supported by a long-term (maximum 10 years) grant from the Swedish research councils (VR and Formas).
The centre joins about 50 researchers and research students performing basic science research in marine evolutionary biology with focus on mechanisms and processes of rapid evolution, local adaptation and speciation from genome level to population level. The genera in focus for CeMEB at the moment are among others Littorina, Fucus, Idotea, Balanus, Pomatoschistus, Amphiura and Debaryomyces.
Position 1
Researcher in marine population genomics and molecular ecology.
Direction of research
This position has a strong focus on evolution and speciation in marine snails (Littorina) and the position requires experience and training in population genetics, population geno-mics, transcriptomics, phylogenetic analysis and genomic hybridization. In addition, field and experimental laboratory work will be included. The responsibility of the researcher also includes supervision of undergraduate and master students. The researcher will be based at the marine field station at Tjärnö (on the Swedish west coast) and be part of a research group led by Professors Kerstin Johannesson and Carl André. The researcher will be expected to contribute to the funding of the research by submitting own grant applications.
Required education
PhD in biology with a focus on evolutionary or population genetic topics.
Qualifications
Most important qualifications are own experience and training in microsatellite analyses, DNA sequencing, microarray technology in addition to theoretic and hands-on knowledge in analyzing genetic data such as annotation, phylogenetic analyses, analyzing experi-ments of gene-expression, and analysing population genetic data. The successful applicant has a high level of integrity and skill in research planning and performance, including writing of scientific publications. Experience in supervision and outreach within the field of the position adds strength to the application
The application should include; a full CV including a list of publications, description of supervision, teaching and popular science, a statement of research interests (including organisms) and earlier performance (including methods and type of problems addressed), contact details to two referees for consultation and copies of up to 5 scientific publications.
