丹麦奥胡斯大学生物信息学研究中心招聘两年期基因组进化研究博士后一名

Bioinformatics Research Centre (BiRC), Aarhus University, Denmark seeks a postdoctoral researcher to work on model development and/or model-based data analysis geared at experimental evolution. The position is for two years starting 15 March 2015.

Research projects, depending on the skills and interest of the researcher, can include:

a. To develop/adapt models predicting DFE and interaction between mutations that can be tested quantitatively and ask to what extent detailed experimental insights described above can allow to infer properties of underlying fitness landscapes; and are more widely applicable to understand adaptation in nature.

c. Devise models and statistical frameworks to explore how long-term evolution (as inferred through patterns of substitution between species), “omics” information (genomic position, network of protein interactions, etc.) and short-term evolution (replicated in the lab) can be understood together and to which extend the latter can be predicted.

The research carried out by the postdoctoral researcher will be primarily theoretical/ statistical in nature but there is scope for close collaboration between groups involved in bacterial evolution either locally (Aarhus University) or through already established international collaborations.

For more information on the hosting institution, see http://birc.au.dk.

We seek primarily a person who is thinking independently and who is broadly trained in the area of evolutionary genetics. The applicant should document – with peer reviewed publications – previous experience in (1) modeling evolutionary questions (either analytical or via simulation), (2) empirical experimental evolution combined with the use of high throughput sequencing, and (3) molecular evolution.

Further information on the position can be obtained by contacting Associate Professor Thomas Bataillon (tbata@birc.au.dk).
