Job Description: Applications are invited for a three-year Postdoctoral Fellowship in molecular phylogenetics. The position will be based at CSIRO Entomology, which is part of the Black Mountain Laboratories in Canberra, Australia. Joining the newly established Bioinformatics and Phylogenomics Laboratory led by Dr Lars Jermiin, the appointee will develop, test and use phylogenetic methods to infer ancestral nucleotide and/or amino acid sequences under general conditions. You will be responsible for the development, implementation, and testing of software to estimate ancestral nucleotide and/or amino acid sequences. In writing this software, there is an opportunity to develop it for use on CSIRO’s excellent high-performance IT resources. Having developed this software, you will apply it to infer ancestral nucleotide and/or amino acid sequences of genes and/or gene products with useful and/or interesting properties. You will be expected to be strongly self-motivated and able to work collaboratively as well as independently on a variety of projects; hence, being able to multitask is highly desirable. To be considered for this position, you will need: * PhD in Phylogenetics or related bioinformatics area (e.g. Statistics, Molecular Evolution, and Computational Science) * Experience in relevant areas of Computational Science and software development (e.g., C, C++, and Java) * Evidence of ability to develop and pursue novel research approaches * Evidence of developing skills in communicating with diverse audiences * Familiarity with phylogenetic programs, and how to write such programs For further details regarding the position and on how to apply, please go to https://recruitment.csiro.au/asp/Job_Details.asp?RefNo=2009%2F1010 Deadline: 29 January, 2010
