About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled PhD student to join our research team at Linköping University. As a PhD student, you will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms that shape mutation rates in germline and somatic cells.

Research Project Overview

The project aims to explore somatic and germline mutation rates from a life-history perspective, using several Drosophila melanogaster model systems in combination with quantitative genetics, experimental evolution, and direct manipulation of resource allocation patterns.

You will be responsible for accumulating mutations in different fly lines, extracting DNA, building libraries for sequencing, and analyzing sequence data.

The project is a collaboration with Associate Professor Martin Johnsson at SLU Uppsala.

About You

We are looking for a candidate with a strong interest in evolutionary genetics, excellent analytical skills, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

Candidates should have experience in processing and analyzing high-throughput genomic sequencing data and statistical analysis.

Prior experience with Drosophila melanogaster or other insect systems, DNA extraction, and library preparation is beneficial but not required.

  • Mastery's level in biology, bioinformatics, genetics, or a similar subject area
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
Benefits and Perks

As a PhD student at Linköping University, you will receive a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth and development.
