**PhD position in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (3 years, 100%)**:
The Livestock Genetics Group at the Institute of Genetics of the Vetsuisse Faculty of the University of Bern (Cord Drögemüller) in collaboration with the Interfaculty Bioinformatics Unit (IBU) of the University of Bern (Rémy Bruggmann) offers a PhD position in the course of Graduate School for Cellular and Biomedical Sciences (GCB) of the University of Bern on a topic in evolutionary genetics funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). For more information on our team and research, please visit our websites.

The PhD project also includes time for training and courses to improve knowledge in computational biology and bioinformatics. You will be responsible for full bioinformatic analysis of WGS data, structural variant discovery, targeted genotyping, genotype-phenotype associations, and possible functional transcriptomic experiments in collaboration with other groups. As structural variant discovery is not accessible from current linear reference genomes, we aim to achieve this through multi-assembly graphs using long, accurate reads (PacBio Revio) from selected animals of different breeds segregating for a Mendelian trait (OMIA:001061-9925) in three different livestock species.

We offer an attractive academic environment, opportunities for academic career development, and a competitive salary based on the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) scheme.

For informal enquiries, please contact Cord Drögemüller.

    Chromosomal inversions are rapidly increasing in interest in the field of evolutionary biology. This renewed interest in chromosomal inversions is in part driven by the advance of novel technologies that allow us to detect and study inversions in unprecedented detail.
