[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
The Model-Based Evolutionary Genomics Unit at OIST is looking for a senior postdoc/staff scientist to join us and lead research at the intersection of computational and evolutionary biology. Our unit works to decode the complex patterns and processes that underpin the evolution of life across its myriad forms with a significant focus on reconstructing the Tree of Life and modeling the dependency between different levels of organization in biological systems. By employing probabilistic models and leveraging the power of machine learning, we aim to unravel the co-evolutionary dynamics that have shaped the Tree of Life, from the enigmatic origins of early life forms to the sophisticated structures of modern biological systems.
