Postdoc: Plant Evolutionary Genetics
A POSTDOCTORAL POSITION is available in the area of PLANT EVOLUTIONARY
GENETICS in the Department of Ecology and Environmental Science, University of Umeå, Sweden. The research is funded by the Swedish Research Council and has an emphasis on molecular population genetics of subdivided plant populations. Research in the lab include the importance of population structure in determining patterns and rates of divergence during speciation, the importance of hybridization and polyploidization in plant speciation and the effects of mating system on the distribution of genetic variation in geographically structured populations. There is also opportunity for work on problems in theoretical and statistical population genetics, with an emphasis on the properties of statistical tests for populations with geographic subdivision and partial selfing, modeling of the speciation process in plants and the estimation of the parameters of speciation models using coalescent and maximum likelihood methods. More information can be found at the lab website http://mendel.eg.umu.se. Experience with molecular methods, evolutionary genetics, statistics and/or computer science is desirable. The successful candidate will enjoy the freedom to contribute intellectually to the development of this and future research projects. The position is available immediately, although the actual starting data is flexible. Applications (perferably by email) should contain a CV, a cover letter with a brief statement of research interest, and contact details (names, e-mail and postal addresses) of two professional references. For further information or for answers to any questions regarding the positions, please contact Dr. Pelle Ingvarsson via email at or through the address below. |
