Offer Description Public Notice - International Selection Procedure
PhD Scientific Researcher Recruitment (Initial Stage Researcher)
FCiências.ID - Associação para a Investigação e Desenvolvimento de Ciências , through its President of the Administration Board, hereby announces the opening of an international call for the recruitment of a Scientific Researcher with a PhD degree, in the category of Initial Stage Researcher, of the FCiências.ID Scientific Research Career, within the scope of the project DOFLOW: Impact of Dominance and Gene flow on Adaptation (Ref.N/A), financed by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, I.P./MCTES through Regulation no. 788/2023 - FCT Special Support Regulation (Article 9) – measure of support, in the form of an indefinite duration fixed-term employment contract, on an exclusive regime, according to the Portuguese Labour Code and Decree-Law No. 57/2016, of August 29th, as amended by Law No. 57/2017, of July 19th.
I. Admission Requirements Portuguese nationals, foreign and stateless persons may submit applications to this selection procedure, provided they hold a doctoral degree in Biology, Evolution, theoretical population genetics or similar areas, have specialised skills and/or expertise in the field of speciation and population genomics, and fully comply with the following requirements:
The PhD must have been granted at least three years ago;
Demonstrated scientific and/or professional experience in the area of theoretical population genetics and speciation;
Experience in modelling and/or computational biology;

Experience in hybridization, hybrid incompatibilities, and/or gene flow between species or populations;
Experience in modelling under quantitative genetics and population genetics frameworks;
Participation in national and/or international scientific projects;
Experience in supervising postgraduate students.
III. Work Plan The objectives of the work plan are to model the role of dominance in cases with gene flow, specifically in models with hybrid incompatibilities, such that it is possible to jointly infer the demographic history of populations and detect and estimate dominance of hybrid incompatibilities, disentangling the genetic signatures of incompatibilities from other selective processes.
IV. Contract Duration The full-time indefinite duration fixed-term employment contract is expected to start in December 2024, and will last until the Work Plan is completed. It will have an expected duration of 12 months.
