[SocBiN] Postdoc fellow at UppsalaU: Host Adaptation in Bacteria / Metagenomics

[Lionel Guy]

I am recruiting a new postdoc fellow:

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW IN EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY, BIOINFORMATICS

PROJECT
Our group is studying the evolution of host-adaptation in bacteria. We are currently focusing on the Legionellales order, which contains representatives at several stages of host adaptation. We are gathering a number of novel genomes through extended sampling, metagenomics and data mining. The goal of this project is to extend the current dataset, analyze it, to shed light on the evolution of Legionellales in particular, and on the evolutionary transitions in host adaptation in general.

FORM
One-year post-doctoral fellowship (SEK 288 000, circa USD 34 000, per annum); extension for a second year available. Candidates who are employees of Uppsala University, or have been in the two years before the start of the fellowship, are not eligible.

Starting date: to be discussed.

BASIC SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS
- A PhD in evolutionary biology, molecular evolution, microbiology or related topic.
- Experience with high-throughput sequencing data, metagenomics, comparative genomics, and molecular evolution tools.
- A documented experience of team work and collaborative projects.

DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Programming experience.

APPLICATION
To be sent by email to lionel.guy at imbim.uu.se, latest on June 30th, 2018. Applications (in one single document) should include:
- Letter of motivation
- Resume
- Publication list
- Names and contact information of two references or two letters of reference.

HOST INSTITUTION
The group is located at the Department of Medical Biochemistry Microbiology, Uppsala University. The host department is a very strong and stimulating research environment, counting over 250 researchers in over 30 groups, and is conducting world-leading research in antibiotic resistance.

Uppsala University is a comprehensive research-intensive university with a strong international standing. Our mission is to pursue top-quality research and education and to interact constructively with society. Our most important assets are all the individuals whose curiosity and dedication make Uppsala University one of Sweden’s most exciting workplaces.
