Postdoctoral Positions in Mathematical and Computational Modeling of Development and Evolution

We invite applications for two postdoctoral researchers to develop mathematical and computational approaches to developmental and evolutionary dynamics in the Milocco’s research group at Stockholm University & SciLifeLab, Sweden. *Keywords*: dynamical systems, time-series analysis, machine learning, phylogenetics, evolution, development *Research directions*: • Data-driven dynamical systems: develop computational and mathematical frameworks to infer dynamical rules of biological development from high-dimensional, noisy biological time-series data using techniques such as nonlinear state-space reconstruction, system identification, and recurrent architectures. • Developmental constraints on evolution: identify low-dimensional structure in phenotypic variation and incorporate this structure into statistically rigorous comparative models of continuous trait evolution across phylogenies. Candidates should hold a PhD in quantitative biology, applied mathematics, physics, computational science, statistics, or a related field *Contact*: lisandro.milocco@zoologi.su.se
