Postdoctoral opportunity in Evolutionary Genomics/Bioinformatics –
Uppsala, Sweden
We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow in
Evolutionary Genomics/Bioinformatics for a two-year position at
the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology, Uppsala
University in Prof. Leif Andersson’s research group
(
http://www.imbim.uu.se/Research/+Genomics/Andersson_Leif/?languageId=1).
Our main research interest is the evolution of biodiversity based
on population genomics of natural populations of fishes and birds.
We are analysing extensive data sets including whole genome
sequencing as well as SNP chip data for a number of fish species
including Atlantic herring, European sprat, European eel, Atlantic
horse mackerel and European cisco and use these to study
ecological adaptation and signatures of selection. Other major
projects in the group concerns the Evolution of Darwin’s finches
and their beaks and The evolution of supergenes. The following
publications illustrate ongoing research; Fish genomics: (eLife,
PMID: 33274714; PNAS, PMID: 33479174; The evolution of Darwin’s
finches: (Current Biology, PMID: 34687609; Science Advances, PMID:
35857449); Evolution of a supergene in ruff: BioRxiv,
https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.04.27.489720).
Duties: Take part in bioinformatic analysis of whole genome
sequence data (short read as well as long read), SNP chip data,
RNAseq, DNA methylation and ATAC-seq data; population genetic
analysis including analysis of population structure, nucleotide
diversity and divergence, detection of signals of selection based
on whole genome sequence data or SNP data from thousands of
individuals; identification and characterisation of causal
variants.
Qualifications: A PhD in bioinformatics or a related area earned
not later than 5 years ago (time spent on parental leave can be
deducted). Experience in handling large scale next-generation
sequence data is an absolute requirement. Competence in
computational biology population genetics and evolutionary
genomics is a merit. Since the project requires interacting with
other team members and other research groups, ability to interact
with others is important.
Further information and applications: Prof. Leif Andersson,
Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology, Uppsala
University, email:
leif.an...@imbim.uu.se.
Deadline: You are welcome to submit your application no later than
May 15, 2023 by email:
leif.an...@imbim.uu.se. Please include
CV, a letter describing your research interest and skills, and the
names and contact information (address, email address, and phone
number) of at least two reference persons. The position is
available as soon as the applications have been evaluated.
