Unagi 👉🏻😏 2 postdocs estudiando dinámica de poblaciones y gestión de pesca de anguila japonesa

Oferta compartida por Nuria


Nagano University is planning to seek a few trained postdoctoral researchers (Statistician and/or Pop-up Argos tag researcher) to work with a team on a study about the population dynamics and fisheries management of Japanese eel (Project Head: Professor Hiroshi Hakoyama). The project is supported by the Fisheries Agency of Japan, and is going to last for at least several years. The outcome of the project is expected to contribute to discussions at FAO, IUCN and CITES and policy design and implementation on the management of Japanese eel.

Duties & Responsibilities

1. Statistician position(frequentist, time-series analysis, mixed-effects models, fisheries management,  mathematical modeling): analyzing spatiotemporal multivariate time-series of fisheries and environmental data of Japanese eel in frequentist approaches; developing statistical and mathematical methods for fisheries management.
2. Pop-up Argos tag, experimental researcher, fieldworker: conducting field experiments to track silver eels using pop-up Argos tags at several locations in Japan; conducting laboratory experiments using yellow eels for developing the new pop-up Argos tag cooperating with Little Leonardo Co.

Moreover, all postdoctoral researchers should cooperate with each other, write papers with co-workers, participate in team discussions, assist the members of the team and the lab in all respects, and accept other duties as assigned.

Information

• Minimum education: Ph.D. in a related field
• Applications: When applying for this position, please send a CV/cover letter and letters of recommendation from the research supervisor or the department head to Hiroshi Hakoyama, hiroshi.hakoyama@nagano.ac.jp by e-mail with the title “Nagano_2021”.
• Deadline to apply: Ongoing (Open until filled)
• Location: 1088 Komaki, Ueda, Nagano 386-0031, Japan

Postdoc in computational evolutionary genetics (Lousiana, USA)

A postdoctoral researcher position is available in the computational evolutionary biology lab of Jeremy M. Brown at LSU. Research in the Brown lab is broadly centered on the use of phylogenetic approaches to understand organismal history and molecular evolution. This position is part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation to develop and apply a suite of related statistical approaches for assessing the fit of stochastic models to sequence and trait data. The goal of this work is to identify when phylogenetic and comparative inferences might be compromised by poor model fit.

The Brown lab will be collaborating extensively on this project with the lab of Bob Thomson at the University of Hawaii - Manoa, as well as the developers of RevBayes and the authors of various R comparative methods packages. Informal inquiries are strongly encouraged and can be directed to jembrown@lsu.edu. Start date is flexible. More information on the Brown lab is available at http://www.phyleauxgenetics.org/.

LSU's Dept. of Biological Sciences has a particular strength in computational evolutionary genetics. LSU continues to invest heavily in the computational sciences, with a recent focus on computational biology. Outstanding resources are available through the Center for Computation and Technology (http://www.cct.lsu.edu/home) and the Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (http://www.loni.org/).

Baton Rouge is located in South Louisiana, one of the most culturally unique locations in the United States (http://louisianatravel.com/). The surrounding area has excellent food, music, festivals, and outdoor recreation. LSU's campus is just over an hour's drive from New Orleans and allows easy access to much of the Gulf Coast.

Responsibilities: Work with computational biologists to write software, in collaboration with developers of RevBayes and various R comparative methods packages. Also responsible for testing new methods by analyzing simulated and biological exemplar data sets. Required Qualifications: Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Evolutionary Biology, Computer Science, Statistics or a related discipline; previous experience with programming and phylogenetic analyses. Additional Qualifications Desired: Previous software development experience as part of a team; programming experience using C++ and R; previous experience writing and publishing scientific manuscripts in peer reviewed journals. An offer of employment is contingent on a satisfactory pre-employment background check. Application deadline is May 23, 2014 or until a candidate is selected.

Statistical genetics and population genetics in Vienna

Several postdoctoral positions in statistical genetics and population
genetics are immediately available in the Nordborg group at the Gregor
Mendel Institute. Major projects include genome-wide association
mapping and systems genetics using 1,001 fully sequenced lines ofA
rabidopsis thaliana, speciation genetics in a variety of plant species,
and population genetics of vervet monkeys. More information is available
