Doktorand i evolutionär genomik

Institutionen för ekologi och genetik (IEG) är en del av Evolutionary Biology Centre (EBC), ett dynamisk och internationellt erkänt centrum för evolutionsbiologisk och ekologisk forskning. IEG omfattar forskargrupper som arbetar på alla nivåer av biologisk organisation (från molekyler till ekosystem) och med flera olika studiesystem (växter, djur, svampar, bakterier). Programmet för växtekologi och evolution, där doktorandpositionen är placerad, rymmer nio forskargrupper som fokuserar på genomik, anpassning och artbildning samt på samhällsekologi. Forskarna har tillgång till förstklassiga växthus och klimatkontrollerade faciliteter, moderna molekylärbiologiska laboratorier och ett högpresterande datorkluster (UPPMAX). Institutionen arbetar nära den nationella infrastrukturen SciLifeLab.

Kort projektbeskrivning: Könskvoten och könskromosomernas evolution

Könskromosomer är av grundläggande betydelse inom biologin, men vår förståelse av deras evolution är fortfarande begränsad. Genetiska konflikter, såsom meiotisk drive som påverkar könsfördelningen, har länge kopplats till den snabba evolutionen av könskromosomer och kan därmed bidra till divergens och artbildning. I detta projekt studeras ett växtsläkte, vide (Salix), som är tvåbyggare. Inom Salix är en skev könskvot till honornas fördel vanlig och en hög omsättning av könskromosomer har beskrivits. (Mer beskrivning av projektet finns på Uppsala universitets hemsida, https://uu.se/jobb/ )

I detta doktorandprojekt kommer du att utföra forskning om några av de mest fascinerande frågorna inom evolutionsbiologi: hur könskromosomer utvecklas och vad som styr könskvoter i naturliga populationer. Du kommer att arbeta med avancerade metoder inom populationsgenomik, bioinformatik och modellering, och, till en mindre del, även med experiment i odlingsrum och i det molekylärbiologiska laboratoriet.

Som doktorand deltar du i ett anpassat kursprogram som stödjer din vetenskapliga och akademiska utveckling samt stärker dina pedagogiska färdigheter. För den som är intresserad finns goda möjligheter att delta i undervisning.

Kvalifikationskrav

Behörig till utbildning på forskarnivå är den som

• har avlagt examen på avancerad nivå inom biologi med specialisering i evolutionär biologi, populationsgenetik/genomik, bioinformatik eller närliggande ämne. Du är också välkommen att ansöka om du förväntas ta din examen inom kort. Vänligen förklara detta i din ansökan.
• fullgjort minst 240 högskolepoäng, varav minst 60 högskolepoäng på avancerad nivå inklusive ett självständigt arbete om minst 15 högskolepoäng, eller
• på något annat sätt förvärvat i huvudsak motsvarande kunskaper.

Behöriga sökande ska kunna visa färdigheter i evolutionsbiologi och avancerat populationsgenomik. Sökande ska dessutom ha förmåga och intresse av att arbeta i team, samtidigt som de kan arbeta och bidra självständigt. Sökande måste kunna uttrycka sig mycket väl både muntligt och skriftligt på engelska. Vid bedömningen av kandidater kommer särskild vikt att läggas vid personliga egenskaper såsom självständighet, stark motivation och god samarbetsförmåga.

Meriterande

Tidigare erfarenheter med populationsgenomisk modellering (t.ex. SLiM), analys av strukturella varianter från long-read-data samt populationsgenomiska analyser (WGS) är meriterande— dessa tekniker kommer att behövas i projektet. Utbildning eller tidigare deltagande i forskning om könskvoter, könskromosomernas evolution, strukturell variation, själviska genetiska element, meiotisk drive eller närliggande ämnen är en fördel.

Åtminstone en mindre del av doktorandprojektet kommer att omfatta molekylärt laboratoriearbete samt experiment i med växter (videarter). Har du tidigare arbetat med dessa metoder är det bra, men det är inte nödvändigt; vi förväntar oss dock att kandidater är intresserade av att lära sig dessa praktiska färdigheter.

Även om projektet har en preliminär plan med finansiering från Vetenskapsrådet, kommer de olika delarna av projektet att revideras och vidareutvecklas baserat på aktuella framsteg och resultat. Vi förväntar oss att doktoranden tar en aktiv roll i projektets utveckling!

About the research project

Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) convert the chemical energy in hydrogen to electrical energy. The main parts of a PEMFC are the anode, cathode and electrolyte. The reactions at the anode and cathode electrodes are catalyzed by metal nanoparticles on carbon. A current issue for large scale implementation of the PEMFC technology is long-term stability.

The project will use atomistic first principles methods to understand the governing mechanism for fuel cell degradation. Increased understanding of the governing processes will provide information on how catalysts could be improved and how the system should be operated to minimize degradation. The project is a collaboration between Volvo Technology AB and Chemical Physics at Chalmers.

Företagsekonomi är ett av de största ämnena vid Mittuniversitetet med verksamhet av ungefär lika stor omfattning i Sundsvall och Östersund. I ämnet ges utbildning på grundnivå och avancerad nivå, inklusive ett civilekonomprogram med två fördjupningsinriktningar: marknadsföring & affärsutveckling samt redovisning & finansiering. Den företagsekonomiska forskningen i Sundsvall har särskild koppling till Centrum för forskning om ekonomiska relationer (CER) med inriktning mot bland annat bank, försäkring, pension och livslångt lärande. Forskningen i Östersund är profilerad mot entreprenörskap, företagsutveckling och turism. Verksamheten präglas i stor utsträckning av samverkan med det omgivande samhället i fråga om bland annat gemensamma forskningsprojekt och uppdragsutbildningar.

Den utlysta anställningen avser en doktorand finansierad av Stiftelsen för Kunskaps- och Kompetensutveckling (KK-stiftelsen) och knyter an till den verksamhet som bedrivs vid CER. Anställningen inriktas mot livslångt lärande som strategisk resurs för organisationsutveckling och fokuserar på yrkesverksammas lärande i en allt mer digitaliserad finanssektor. Den specifika inriktningen på arbetet formuleras i samråd med utsedda handledare. Anställningen medför åtagande gentemot finansiären (KK-stiftelsen).

Anställningen förutsätter förtrogenhet med empirinära undersökningar då en stor del av forskningen sker i samverkan med aktörer i det omgivande samhället. Av stor vikt är att den forskarstuderande kan bidra till verksamheten vid CER genom att finnas på plats på stationeringsorten. Anställningen är tänkt att leda fram till doktorsexamen.
