Sponsored Links
Ecological Genetics Research Unit (EGRU, head: Prof. Juha Merilä) in the Department of Biosciences at the University of Helsinki, Finland, is located at the Viikki campus of the University of Helsinki (http://www.helsinki.fi/biotieteet/ ). EGRU members work with population genetic, evolutionary genetic, ecological genetics and ecological genomics problems. Most of the work is addressing directly or indirectly broad, general evolutionary or conservation problems. Fish - nine-spined and three-spined sticklebacks in particular - constitute the main models, but also birds and amphibians are frequently used in the group’s research. More information of the research and our interests can be found at http://www.helsinki.fi/biosci/egru/ .

The position involves linkage map construction and QTL-mapping of ecologically interesting traits in three- (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and nine-spined sticklebacks (Pungitius pungitius), as well as in the common frog (Rana temporaria). For a skilful person, this position offers an opportunity to obtain quick results. Informative crosses, data collection and genotyping have already been conducted, so the datasets are ready to be analyzed.
 
A person selected for the post of postdoctoral researcher is required to have a doctoral degree in biology or animal/plant breeding and the ability to do independent scientific work as well as having the necessary teaching skills. Good knowledge – and preferably also experience – conducting linkage and QTL-mapping are required.
 
According to the Government Decree on Universities, postdoctoral researchers are required to be competent in the language in which they provide instruction, in other words, Finnish or Swedish. They must have at least satisfactory oral and written skills in both languages. Foreign citizens, non-native Finnish citizens, or citizens who have not been educated in Finnish or Swedish, may be exempted from this requirement without a separate application. The candidate is expected to be able to express him/herself fluently in English (written and spoken), be able to work both independently and as a member of a team. Excellent writing and communication skills are essential.
 
The salary will be based on level 5 of the demands level chart for teaching and research personnel in the salary system applied in Finnish universities. In addition, the appointee will be paid a salary component based on personal work performance.
 
The work can start immediately but the starting date is negotiable.
 
To apply, please send a letter describing your interests (also in respect to this particular position) and qualifications, a CV (including publication list), and contact information for two references (who have agreed to provide a letter of reference) to Department of Biosciences, Prof. Juha Merilä, PO Box 65, 00014 University of Helsinki. Deadline for applications is 15.3.2010 at 15.45 local Helsinki time.
