18-month post-doc position (starting early 2010) in theorical models of speciation
18-month post-doc position (starting early 2010) is open to
develop theoretical models of speciation in collaboration with
Denis Roze (Roscoff, France) and Nicolas Bierne (Montpellier, France).
The general goal will be to understand the coupling between genetic
incompatibilities due to local adaptation and endogenous
incompatibilities (Dobzhansky-Muller), focusing on the effects of
population structure and local drift; however, the candidate will be free
to explore different directions according to his/her interests.
Candidates should have a strong background in theoretical population
genetics. Although knowledge of French is helpful in everyday life,
the working language will be English.
