Two Post Doctoral Researchers,
Genetics and evolution of complex traits
SLU develops the understanding and sustainable use of biological natural resources. This is achieved through research, teaching, environmental monitoring and assessment and information extension.
About 5000 bachelor, master and doctorate students are enrolled at SLU. 3000 people are employed at the University. The turnover is about 2,2 billion SEK. Main campuses are located at Ultuna, Alnarp, Skara, and Umeå.
The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science is one of four faculties at SLU with 450 employees and 1000 bachelor, master and doctorate students. The Faculty office and most of the departments are located in Uppsala, but important research and teaching activities are also carried out in Skara.
www.slu.seThe Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics is responsible for education, research and information on molecular genetics and bioinformatics, quantitative and statistical genetics, genetic evaluations and strategies for sustainable breeding programs for domestic animals. The department employs about 90 staff. Teaching at bachelor and master levels takes place primarily within the animal and veterinary science programs. You can read more on
http://www.hgen.slu.se .
An increased understanding of the genetics and evolution of complex traits is not only of fundamental scientific interest but is of paramount importance for future developments in most areas of biology, including human medicine and agriculture. We aim to provide new insights into complex-trait genetics by using and developing new computational methods in the areas of mathematical modeling, statistical analysis and simulation. We also conduct empirical work where we establish our own experimental animal populations and characterize these phenotypically and genetically using e.g. genome-resequencing and high-density genotyping - all with an aim to validate and replicate important findings. These Post Doctoral positions are an important part in this effort.
The Post Doctoral researchers will join our young and growing Computational Genetics group. We provide a supportive environment and strongly believe in an interdisciplinary approach, so we encourage applicants with a non-standard background to apply. We are based in Uppsala at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and also have links with Uppsala University. More information about our group is available at
http://www.computationalgenetics.se and
http://www.lcb.uu.se .
The positions comprise development and use of methods, algorithms and tools for complex trait genetic analyses as well as studies of how genetic variation in complex genetic networks contributes to expression and evolution of complex traits.
A successful applicant should have relevant scientific education (PhD degree or similar) and an interest in quantitative, population and/or evolutionary genetics. A strong mathematical / statistical background and programming experience is an advantage.
Employment as a post doctor is limited to two years at full time.
SLU is an equal opportunity employer.
