Research Fellow in computational phylogenomics in University College London Ref: B02-10021 Hours: Full Time Salary: Grade 7 per annum including London Allowance Closing Date: 9 February 2026 Dear Colleagues, Application deadline: 9 February 2026 A postdoctoral Research Fellow position in available in the team of Professor Ziheng Yang FRS and Dr Asif Tamuri in UCL to work in the areas of computational phylogenomics and molecular evolution. The successful candidate will become a member of a multidisciplinary research team at the interface of evolutionary genomics, bioinformatics, computer science, and computational statistics. We are particularly interested in two types of candidates: method developers and/or data analysts. Method developers will implement high-performance computing algorithms to accelerate phylogenetic likelihood calculations in the PAML package and develop new models and methods for genome-scale phylogenetic analysis. Candidates should be proficient in C/C++ and scientific computing, with an interest in applying computational and statistical approaches to evolutionary genetics and genomics; experience in statistical inference or phylogenetics is an advantage. Data analysts candidates will be bioinformaticians or evolutionary biologists with strong computational skills, experience with modern phylogenetic software, and an interest in analyzing genomic-scale phylogenetic data. The post is funded by the BBSRC with a funding end date of 14 June 2027. Starting date will be on 1 April 2026 or as soon as possible afterwards. Salary will be commensurate with experience on UCL grade 7 (�45,103 to �52,586 pa including London allowance).
