1-2 Postdoc positions in molecular evolution at the Uppsala University

Project

The research in Siv Andersson´s group aims to provide a deeper understanding of the forces and mechanisms that drive evolution at the molecular level. The research group studies for example intracellular bacteria that are commonly present in the blood of animals and may cause disease in humans.

Overview

The project includes large-scale bioinformatic analyses of DNA- and protein-data, with a specific focus on genomic data from Bartonella and/or Lactobacillus. The development and implementation of bioinformatic tools may be included in the position. Teaching (up to maximally 20 % of the time) may be included if there are such needs within the program.

Required Qualifications

1. PhD exam in biology with specialization in molecular evolution, bioinformatics or related subject areas that the employer considers equivalent.
2. The successful candidate should have strong collaborative skills but also be able to work independently.
3. High requirements on research quality and ethics, including quality and reproducibility of data and analyses, are central for all work in the group.

To be employed as postdoctor at Uppala University your PhD exam should have been obtained within a three-year period prior to the deadline for applications to the position.

Additional merits

Prior experience of bioinformatic studies of microbial genomes is regarded as a merit.
