Presentation

The Department of Computational Biology invites applications for one postdoctoral position in population and comparative genomics. The overall aims of the project is to investigate the comparative and population genomics of clownfishes by developing new approaches to link phenotypic traits with large scale genomic data.

Job information

Date of start: 01.04.2025

Duration of contract: 1 year with possibility of two renewals of 2 years

Employment rate: 100%

Workplace: University of Lausanne, Dorigny campus

The project aims at extending the full genome data that the group has acquired to study the evolution of the clownfishes. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms driving the evolution of this iconic group of coral reef fishes. During the project, the postdoctoral fellow will use extended data coming from populations of several clownfish species to link genomic signatures of adaptation with extended phenotypic data based on color patterns and morphometrics.

Our research group has a longstanding research track in comparative genomics in clownfishes and has been developing new approaches to analyze phenotypic and genomic data. The position will fit in the ongoing research effort to characterize the genomics of adaptation in clownfishes.

The position includes research activities and teaching duties, as well as administrative or technical tasks insofar as they pertain to the department’s teaching or research activities. At least 50% of the regular working hours will be devoted to personal research work.

Your qualifications

The ideal candidate should be an autonomous researcher with enthusiasm for inter-disciplinary work, who will need to interact productively with evolutionary biologists, computer scientists, and bioinformaticians. She/he should be willing to read the corresponding range of scientific literature and participate actively in group and department activities. Candidates must have completed their PhD degrees or equivalent in a relevant field and must be fluent in English.

The requirements include a background in evolutionary biology and comparative or population genomics with experience, or at least knowledge, of bioinformatics. The candidate should have a deep interest in genomics and theoretical aspects of evolutionary biology. Previous experience with evolutionary biology and/or computational biology is also expected.
