PhD position on simulating evolutionary dynamics – Scientific Computing- Norway
PhD position on simulating evolutionary dynamics – Scientific Computing
We plan to extend our research to simulation studies of evolutionary dynamics of genetic networks and their role in species adaptation, formation and development. For this project we seek a candidate for an available PhD position (3 years). In the current, post-genomic era, it has become increasingly clear that to understand the functioning of biological cells, tissues, organisms and populations it is not enough to know which genes or proteins they possess. In addition, one also needs to understand how these genes and proteins interact dynamically in complex networks and how these interactions have arisen during evolution. It is now becoming clear that our larger complexity relative to single celled and simple multicellular organisms resides not so much in the number of genes we have but in the way these genes interact in complex networks. We will study the role of genetic networks in several key biological evolutionary processes: the adaptation of species to their (changing) environment, the splitting of a species into multiple species, and the development of multicellular organisms.
Simula offers the following:
Excellent opportunities for doing high quality research, as part of a highly competent and motivated team of international researchers.
Generous support for travels and equipment
Good office facilities located close to the Oslo fjord
Competitive salary (around 47.000,- Euro/69.000,- USD for a Ph.D. position and 58.000,- Euro/84.500,- USD for a Postdoc position)
We are looking for candidates fulfilling one or more of the following requirements:
- A strong interest in biologically and evolutionary oriented research
- Affinity with genetics, evolutionary theory and network concepts
- A University degree in physics, applied mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, or computational biology
- Experience with computational modelling of biological, medical or physical systems, individual based modelling, evolutionary algorithms, and advanced programming techniques
The position requires excellent English writing skills and high marks from the BSc and MSc degree. Women are encouraged to apply for these positions. For more information contact Kirsten ten Tusscher or Joakim Sundnes. To apply for these positions, email a short application letter and curriculum vitae with publication list to jobs@simula.no. The subject of the email must contain 0820 Scientific Computing. We are interested in how you first came to learn about this position – please let us know in your email.
