Postdoc and PhD positions in Mathematical Biology
Postdoc and PhD positions in Mathematical Biology
The Mathematical Biology Group at the Department of Biological and
Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland (leader Dr. Otso
Ovaskainen) is seeking outstanding, highly motivated candidates to join
research projects at the interface between mathematics and ecology and
evolutionary biology. Successful candidates may have their training either
in mathematics or in biology, the main criteria being the potential to
perform top-quality research. We anticipate hiring up to 4 postdoctoral
researchers or Ph.D. students over the next 3 years. Research projects
will be developed in conjunction with the interests of the successful
candidates, focused on the following areas:
1. The roles of space and stochasticity in population dynamics
2. Metacommunity dynamics of wood-decaying fungi
3. Animal movement in heterogeneous environments
4. Bayesian approaches in evolutionary quantitative genetics
The PhD student positions are available for 4 years. The postdoc positions
are for 1 year, with the possibility of a 2-year extension.
The Mathematical Biology group is part of the Metapopulation Research
Group (leader prof. Ilkka Hanski), which is a Centre of Excellence in
Research supported by the Academy of Finland. We offer an international
research environment with excellent possibilities to cooperate with
experts in mathematics, statistics, population biology, and evolutionary
ecology. Salary and social benefits according to the University of
Helsinki Salary system, around 2,300 €/month for PhD students and 3,100
€/month for post docs (the latter negotiable).
Applications including a short CV (max 3 pages), list of publications, and
the e-mail addresses of two researchers willing to write a letter of
reference should be sent to otso.ovaskainen at helsinki.fi with cc to
tuuli.ojala at helsinki.fi; write either "postdoc position" or " PhD student
position" on the subject line. For more details on the research projects
and on the application procedure, see
