芬兰生物技术研究所招聘生物理论进化与发展方向博士后

Description

One of the current challenges of evolutionary biology is to understand how genetic variation leads to specific morphological variation (the genotype-phenotype map) and how that process affects the direction of morphological change in evolution. Our group is devoted to address this question by using gene network models. 2.

Programming skills or a willingness to acquire them is required. The most important requirement is a strong interest and motivation on science, morphological evolution and development. A capacity for creative and critical thinking is also desirable. 3. Description of the position: The fellowship will be for a period of up to 4 years (100% research work: no teaching involved). 4.
