英国阿伯丁大学进化建模方向博士后招聘
University of Aberdeen - School of Biological Sciences
Location:Aberdeen
Salary:£33,199 to £35,210 per annum
Hours:Full Time
Contract Type:Fixed-Term/Contract
Closes:3rd January 2019
Job Ref:SBS044R
We are seeking a Research Fellow to join an exciting, NERC-funded project investigating the evolution and diversification of taxa on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The successful candidate will be one of two postdocs working on this highly collaborative project with researchers at University of Aberdeen, Bangor University, the University of Nottingham and Bogor University, Indonesia. The Research Fellow will join the School of Biological Sciences at University of Aberdeen and spend a portion of their time in Sulawesi. Candidates should hold a PhD in evolution, ecology or genetics and have research experience in evolutionary biology, molecular ecology or a related discipline, preferably in relation to speciation or prokaryotic diversification. The Research Fellow will be responsible for developing models incorporating both paleogeographic dynamics and speciation processes to deliver new understanding of the patterns of species diversity that are observed on Sulawesi today. They will work with the project team to develop and apply models for eukaryotes and prokaryotes and will be involved in work comparing model outputs with empirical patterns gained by other team members. Finally the models will be used to forecast ecological and evolutionary futures for the island. Experience in developing evolutionary and/or ecological theory and the ability to develop efficient computer simulation code are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively on writing and analysis for publication. Experience in speciation (or prokaryotic diversification) modelling, high performance computing, geographic information systems and approaches for data-model integration are all highly desirable.
Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale (£33,199- £35,210 per annum), with placement according to qualifications and experience.
For informal enquiries contact Justin Travis (justin.travis@abdn.ac.uk), Alex Papadopulos (a.papadopulos@bangor.ac.uk) or Adam Algar (adam.algar@nottingham.ac.uk).
