14 hours ago
The Swedish Museum of Natural History is a government agency with a mandate to promote knowledge, research and interest in our world. It is a prominent research institution and Sweden's largest museum. For more than 200 years, the museum has been collecting specimens and data and conducting research on life on earth. The collections contain more than 11 million plants, animals, fungi, environmental samples, minerals and fossils. All research and knowledge are shared in the exhibitions, Cosmonova and in activities at the museum and digitally.
WORK TASKS
The Department of Bioinformatics and Genetics is offering a four-year PhD position focused on analyzing population- and species-level genomic data from museum plant samples. The project will employ cutting-edge genomic techniques and involve the development of new bioinformatic tools for understanding the evolution of genetic diversity. This PhD position is part of a five-year research program funded by the Wallenberg Foundation, aimed at developing and applying computational tools to understand the evolution of biodiversity (see https://islandevolution.github.io/ ).
The candidate will use whole genomic data to answer questions pertaining to the ecology, evolution, demographics, adaptation and hybridisation of Cape Verdean Diplotaxis, a radiation encompassing multiple environments. The candidate is expected to take part in developing specific projects based on interest and experience.
The PhD student will supervised by José Cerca (DDLS Fellow), and collaborate closely with colleagues at the Swedish Museum of Natural History and colleagues in Oslo (Christian Brochmann), Prague (Filip Kolá) and Munich (Mathieu Gardère) as well as several institutions in Cabo Verde.
