Graduate student position available at the Department of Evolutionary biology, Uppsala University
A graduate student position in Evolutionary Genetics/genomics is
available at the Department of Evolutionary Biology at Uppsala
University. This position offers an opportunity to explore a wide
range of evolutionary paradigms, from the genomic consequences of
selfing vs outcrossing, to the early steps in the evolution of sex
chromosomes.
Our research group uses the filamentous ascomycete genus Neurospora
as a model system. Neurospora is well suited for studies on
reproductive systems since its closely related species exhibit a wide
spectrum of reproductive behavior. Furthermore, we use the mating-
type chromosome of Neurospora tetrasperma as a simple, general, model
for studies of the early evolution of sex chromosomes from autosomes.
It shares features with the complex sex chromosomes found in the
animal and plant kingdom, but is not affected by complex sex-biased
evolutionary forces such as sexual selection and male biased mutation
rate.
The PhD-project can be developed after the interest of the applicant,
but should preferably involve large scale SNP-typing and/or high
throughput sequencing of natural populations of Neurospora.
The Program in Evolutionary Biology (http://www.egs.uu.se/evbiol/
index.html) is situated in the Evolutionary Biology Centre in central
Uppsala. The working atmosphere is international with English as
working language. The Evolutionary Biology Centre constitutes an
exciting arena for multidisciplinary research in evolutionary biology
in a broad sense, with research programs including ecology,
systematics, genetics, genomics, and developmental biology. Uppsala
University is the oldest university in Scandinavia and the city of
Uppsala is a vibrant student town with beautiful surroundings
conveniently situated 40 minutes with train from Stockholm.
Required qualifications for applicants are 1) a MSc in Biology,
Genetics, Evolutionary Biology, Microbiology or related field, 2)
experience in one or several of the following areas: bioinformatics,
population genetics, evolutionary biology, genetics, microbiology,
mycology, and 3) demonstrated communication skills in English.
The position is for four years. Start date fall 2009. Review of
applications will begin immediately and continue until the position
is filled.
To apply, send NO LATER THAN APRIL 15: your CV, including contact
information for two references, and a cover letter stating your
research interest to: Dr Hanna Johannesson, hanna.johannesson@ebc.uu.se.
