> Two 24-month post-doctoral positions are available in the Department of Biodiversity Informatics at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm to work with Dr Fredrik Ronquist on Bayesian phylogenetic inference. In this project, funded by the Swedish Research Council, we are developing an R-like computational environment making it possible to build complex evolutionary models for simulation and Bayesian inference. You will be expected to contribute to the computational environment while developing an independent, methodological or empirical research project where Bayesian phylogenetic computation plays a central role. The choice of research topic is quite flexible within these general constraints.
> 
> The successful candidates will be part of the Stockholm Phylogenomics Group, involving mathematicians, computer scientists and biologists at the Karolinska Institute, the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), the Swedish Museum of Natural History, and Stockholm University. The group offers an excellent interactive environment for cross-disciplinary research in bioinformatics. Through the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) and the Bioinformatics Infrastructure for Life Sciences (BILS), the group has access to high-performance computing resources and support services.
> 
> You should have a doctoral degree in a relevant area, such as bioinformatics, mathematics, statistics, computer science or evolutionary biology. You should be comfortable with mathematical and statistical reasoning, be a skilled programmer, and have experience with empirical research problems of scientific significance. A strong track record and good communication skills are expected, including proficiency in English.
> 
> Monthly salary will be 3,100-3,600 Euros depending on experience. Starting date is flexible but should be no later than December 31, 2012. Please indicate desired starting date in the application.

> For more information about the positions, contact Professor Fredrik Ronquist, Head of the Department of Biodiversity Informatics at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (fredrik.ronquist at nrm.se; +46-8 5195 4094).
> 
> The application should consist of a personal letter, a description of the planned research project (3-5 pages), and a CV. Mark the application with "dnr 33-119/2012", and send it by e-mail to rekrytering at nrm.se by *** March 30, 2012 ***.
