澳大利亚联邦科工组织水虻系统学博士后职位

We are currently seeing a motivated, self driven Postdoctoral Fellow to be part of the Australian Biological Resources Study to revise the taxonomy of the soldier fly (Diptera: Stratiomyiidae) fauna of Australia. This research will involve constructing a phylogeny of the family using molecular and morphological data and preparing a generic revision of the Australian fauna.

Specifically you will:
• Use next generation sequencing and phylogenomic techniques, construct a robust molecular phylogeny of the soldier flies (Stratiomyidae) with ethanol preserved material, and prepare this for publication;
• Use material in collections, freshly collected material, and the results of the molecular analyses, establish generic limits in the Australian fauna;
• Prepare for publication a generic revision of the Australian soldier flies based on a systematic study of the fauna, and a knowledge of the world fauna;
• Develop innovative concepts and ideas for further research;
• Regularly review relevant literature;
• Contribute to the effective functioning of the research team and help deliver upon CSIRO’s organisational objectives.
