ELFT HÍRADÓ

[Gergely J Szöllősi <sszolo AT gmail.com>]

Two postdoc positions are available as part of a Simons/Moore 
Foundation-funded project on the origin of the eukaryotic cell. 

We are searching for postdocs to develop and apply new phylogenomic methods 
(particularly gene tree-species tree reconciliation methods) to work on the 
timing of eukaryotic origins and the nature of the genetic contributions from 
archaeal host, bacterial endosymbiont, and other possible sources.

We offer a chance to make progress on fundamental evolutionary questions, 
and, as part of a broader initiative, to interact with leading thinkers in 
the field. 

One of the positions (2.5 years) is in the Paleobiology and Biodiversity 
Research Group at Bristol (with a supervisory team consisting of Tom 
Williams, Davide Pisani, and Phil Donoghue), and one in the lab of Gergely 
Szöllősi at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2 years).

The Bristol post is aimed at a “biologist who can use a computer” (applying 
methods to new datasets is the #1 task), while the Budapest post is aimed at 
someone with an interest in algorithms and method development (#1 task is 
extending existing methods, e.g. ALE, and developing new ones). 

The boundaries between the two aims, however, overlap and the postdocs will, 
we hope, work closely together.

Given the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, we're open to flexible/remote 
arrangements.
