2-year DDLS Postdoc on Floral Traits, Machine Learning and Macro-evolution

Temporary employment
14 August 2026
Read more about the position 2-year DDLS Postdoc on Floral Traits, Machine Learning and Macro-evolution
The Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics at the Swedish Museum of Natural History is offering a two-year Postdoc position focused on Floral Traits, Machine Learning and Macro-evolution.  This project aims to investigate the evolution of flower size on oceanic islands by combining phylogenetic comparative methods with machine learning-based extraction of trait data from digitised botanical floras. The successful candidate will develop computational workflows to generate large-scale, standardised datasets of floral traits and use these to test hypotheses about the predictability and drivers of flower-size evolution in island systems.  As a postdoc in this project, you will work with developing methods in ML, integrate macro-phylogenetic tools to understand floral trait evolution on islands.  The preferred start date is 01-10-2026.
