🎓 PhD in evolutionary biology and genomics 🧬 | Island biology 🏝️ | Computational biology 🖥️ | Genome Evolution 🧬
Would you like to do a PhD with Galápagos and evolutionary genomics? Join me in Oslo: PhD Research Fellow in Evolutionary Genomics and Island Biology <what> Some of the most diverse lineages on our planet (e.g. Darwin's Finches and Hawaiian Silverswords), are found in oceanic archipelagos. Paradoxically, species in these regions often have small population sizes, frequently experience bottlenecks and founder events, and are prone to inbreeding—all factors typically detrimental to genetic diversity. How, then, can these remotely located lineages, subject to such genetic constraints, maintain enough diversity to radiate and evolve? This project aims to explore this fascinating paradox. <how> This project study will integrate a variety of molecular and bioinformatic approaches, benefiting from a large herbarium collection. We will utilize: 1) population genomic tools, such as ancestral recombination graph-based inferences, to estimate the age of haplotypes and genetic variation; 2) conduct simulations of genomic data using software like SLiM and msprime; 3) examine the role of structural variants and pangenomes in genetic variation. <benefits> Possibilities to attend a conference each year Strong supervisory support and mentoring to pursue an academic career; Salary NOK 532 200 – 575 400 per annum depending on qualifications and seniority as PhD Research Fellow (position code 1017) Attractive welfare benefits and a generous pension agreement Vibrant international academic environment Career development programmes Oslo’s family-friendly surroundings with their rich opportunities for culture and outdoor activities All information you need to know, including how to apply, follows here: https://lnkd.in/dMccGjvD
