Post-doctoral Research Associate in Molecular evolutionary
biology/Bioinformatics
We seek a post-doctoral researcher with training/experience in
bioinformatics and large-scale sequencing to conduct research in two
projects based on 454-sequencing and related to population dynamics and
molecular evolution. The post doc will work in a large international
research group.
One project is concerned with a highly variable gene (Pgi) with strong
association with individual performance and fitness in the Glanville
fritillary butterfly, which has been the focus of large-scale research
since 1991. The research involves sequencing and analysis of large
population samples. The second project is concerned with the
identification and quantitative measurement of the abundances of fungal
species in decomposing tree trunks. This project is related to an ERC-
funded project on metacommunity dynamics of polyporous fungi. In both
projects the sequencing will be carried out at the nearby high-throughput
laboratory of the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki,
using massive parallel sequencing methods.
PhD and prior experience with bioinformatics and molecular biology methods
is required. Strong candidates would additionally have interest in
molecular evolution and/or population genetics. The position is available
for two years with possible extension for up to two more years.
We offer a highly international research environment with excellent
possibilities to interact with researchers in ecology and evolutionary
biology, molecular biology, mathematics, and statistics. Salary and social
benefits according to the University of Helsinki Salary Scale, around
3,100 € / month (negotiable based on experience).
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 ilkka.hanski at helsinki.fi (cc
tuuli.ojala at helsinki.fi; write "mol ecol post doc position" on the subject
line). For more details on the research group see
http://www.helsinki.fi/science/metapop/. Applications are due by February
29. The position will remain open until filled.
