Researcher in Computational Evolutionary Biology
3 weeks ago
SciLifeLab is a national research infrastructure based in Stockholm and Uppsala. In Stockholm, SciLifeLab is located on Campus Solna, where research groups from Stockholm University, the Royal Institute of Technology, and the Karolinska Institute conduct internationally outstanding research in the life sciences.
Project description
The project focuses on studying the evolution of evolvability using computational simulations. Evidence from evolutionary developmental biology suggests that evolvability can change rapidly in the nonlinear regions of the genotype–phenotype map, while more recent empirical results indicate that it can remain constant over long evolutionary periods. This project will address this apparent contradiction by using computational models of development to simulate the evolution of evolvability.
Main responsibilities
The Main Tasks Include
- Large-scale simulations of development and evolution under different conditions using existing software (written in Fortran).
- Analysis of data using quantitative genetics tools (e.g., calculation and comparison of genetic and phenotypic covariance matrices).
- Interpretation of results using theoretical concepts from evo-devo theory.
Researchers are appointed primarily for purposes of research and must hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
Assessment criteria
Particular emphasis will be placed on scientific excellence. Experience and expertise in computational analysis, documented competence in evolutionary biology, and proficiency in using necessary software will be considered. Experience in a compiled programming language like Fortran, as well as with high-level languages – for example, R – for analyses, is also required. The candidate must have excellent skills in English, both spoken and written.
About The Employment
The position involves full-time employment for a maximum of 6 months. Start date 2025-04-01 or as per agreement.
We offer
At Stockholm University, you will experience the dynamic interaction between higher education and research, creating an exciting and creative environment. You will work at Campus Solna, located at SciLifeLab, and have access to a dynamic research setting.
