job description

Postdoctoral researcher in Ecology, specifically entailing the ecology and evolution of avian innate immunity, ref PA 2012/144

Linnaeus University is a modern, international university in southern Sweden. The university is situated in Kalmar and Växjö, and has 34,000 students and 2,000 employees. For more information see: Lnu.se. The school of Natural Sciences is part of the Faculty of science and engineering. The research activities within this multidisciplinary school include the areas of Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, Organic Chemistry, Marine Ecology and Microbiology.

The Linnaeus Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial Model Systems (EEMiS) now seeks a postdoctoral researcher with a strong background in molecular biology and ecology.

The research project is centered on ecological and evolutionary interactions between pathogens and host innate immunity in wild bird populations. Pathogenic microorganisms are a reality for all living animals and infectious diseases shape the ecology and evolution of the host species they infect. The co-evolution between pathogens and hosts can be viewed as an arms race, with selection on both host and pathogen genomes. The current project aims to understand how genetic variations at innate immune gene loci in Mallards give rise to differences in susceptibility to naturally occurring bacterial and viral pathogens. As a starting point, the postdoctoral researcher will investigate the genetic basis for innate immune genes and the degree of allelic variation within and between duck species. This information will then be used to link allelic variation with data on pathogen susceptibility using both culture- and genetic-based approaches.

The EEMiS environment is a centre of excellence within Linnaeus University involving larger teams of multidisciplinary researchers. Therefore, the successful applicant will interact with other existing research projects within EEMiS.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a subject area of relevance for the present project, such as molecular biology, genetics or ecology. Excellent written and oral communication skills in English are essential. Documented experience with characterizations of immune genes, gene function or disease susceptibility is desirable.

The position is available for two years. We offer excellent working conditions, a competitive income, access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and an opportunity to develop your career in a dynamic environment. The position is located in Kalmar.

For further information please contact Dr. Jonas Waldenström at +46-480-446195, (jonas.waldenstrom@lnu.se), Dr. Olof Hellgren +46-70-6473522 (olof.hellgren@lnu.se), Head of School Prof. Ian Nicholls, +46-480-446258 (ian.nicholls@lnu.se) or Personnel Officer Leif Eriksson at +46-480- 446028, (leif.eriksson@lnu.se). Union representatives may be contacted via the university switchboard at +46-772- 28 80 00.

Please apply through: lnu.se, and go to “jobs and vacancies”. The application should arrive no later than April 15, 2012. Mark your application with reference number PA 2012/144. The application (in English) should contain a CV, copy of doctoral certificate, a list of at least two referees (with telephone, fax, and/or e-mail), at least two letters of recommendation, and a description of motivation and experience relevant to the research project.
