PhD Position in Computational / Evolutionary Biology
Job tasks
The project focuses on using long-read sequencing data for population and conservation genomics, particularly in endangered species like Zingel asper. The position offers collaboration with leading researchers and access to cutting-edge genomic resources. The role involves developing and implementing reproducible pipelines for population genomic analyses, analyzing whole-genome resequencing data of Zingel asper, and contributing to research in conservation and comparative genomics. It also includes collaboration with the Earth BioGenome Project and the European Reference Genome Atlas, as well as close work with researchers at the Naturhistorisches Museum Bern and the Institute of Ecology and Evolution.
Profile requirements
The position requires a strong background in next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis, along with experience in population genetics and/or evolutionary biology. It calls for motivation to work in interdisciplinary and collaborative research settings and proficiency in English, which is the working language of the group.
