摘要：

1.Job/ project description: Post-doc position in developmental morphometrics or/and modelling The main objectives of the PhD project is to: a) Develop mathematical tools for non-landmark morphometrics of whole embryos and adult bodies. b) Use those tools to test quantitatively classical comparative hypotheses in evolution and development (evo-devo). These hypotheses include the hour-glass model and the patterns of variation in different stages of development according to the type of development. c) Collect data, mostly 3D scans, of embryonic material.

Description

The project would involve working with different species and would involve collecting data with a CT-scanner and analyzing already existing data. The biotechnology institute includes a range of experimental biologitst working on several systems. The supervisor of the theoretical aspects will be Dr. Salazar-Ciudad but the PhD would include close collaboration with Jukka Jernvall group. This includes collaboration with developmental biologists, bioinformaticians, paleontologists and other evolutionary and systems biologists. The work may also include, optionally, collaboration, and spending some time, in Barcelona. 2. Requirements: The applicant must be a biologists, preferably with a strong background in either evolutionary biology, developmental biology or theoretical biology. Some knowledge of ecology, zoology, cell and molecular biology are also desirable. Bioinformaticians, systems biologists or computer biologists that do not have a degree in biology (e.g. Computer scientists, physicists or engineers) would not be considered (not replied). Programming skills or a willingness to acquire them is required. The most important requirement is a strong interest and motivation on science, morphological evolution and development. A capacity for creative and critical thinking is also desirable. 3. Description of the position: The fellowship will be for a period of up to 2 years (100% research work: no teaching involved). Salary according to Finnish Post-doc. 4. The application must include: -Application letter including a statement of interests -CV (summarizing degrees obtained, subjects included in degree and grades, average grade) Foreign applicants are advised to attach an explanation of their University's grading system. Please remember that all documents should be in English. 5. Examples of recent publications by Isaac Salazar-Ciudad group. -Salazar-Ciudad I. Morphological evolution and embryonic developmental diversity in metazoa. Development. 2010 Feb;137(4):531-9. --Salazar-Ciudad I, Jernvall J. A computational model of teeth and the developmental origins of morphological variation. Nature. 2010 Mar 25;464(7288):583-6. -Salazar-Ciudad I1, Marín-Riera M.

Benefits

The fellowship will be for a period of up to 2 years (100% research work: no teaching involved). The purpose of the fellowship is research training leading to the successful completion of a PhD degree. Salary according to Finnish PhD student salaries (or postdoc) depending on the applicant. This is job comes with a contract and right to use standd social security.
