The tasks involved in the postdoctoral research project are: implementation of pipelines to detect de novo transposable element insertions in genomes, searching for evidence of selection at the DNA level (e.g. Fst, iHS, nSL, H12), and performing environmental association studies.


A PhD in Populations Genetics or a related field, good programming skills, and good writing skills are required. Previous postdoctoral experience will be considered.
We offer a full-time position for 2 years with the possibility of extension. Salary will depend on the experience of the candidate.
