PhD fellowship in Conservation Genetics

Basel, Schweiz The Biozentrum, University of Basel Vollzeit

Your position New computational and analytical tools in population genetics allow to estimate both contemporary and past effective population sizes. With these in hands, the project aims to verify how well reported dynamics of decline in rare plant species align with inferred trajectories of effective population size. Conversely, the project will also address whether habitat and species protection have had a beneficial impact, by slowing down or even stopping species' decline when measured in term of effective population size. Should this not be the case, the role of mutation accumulation may be investigated. Practical work involves collecting of plant material, wet lab work, bioinformatics, population genetic analysis, and growing plants to assess mutation accumulation. Your profile We are looking for highly motivated applicants with a master's degree in evolutionary biology, population genetics, or conservation genetics. In addition to an interest in evolutionary and conservation biology, the candidate should be committed to: doing field work, wet-lab work, learning about bioinformatics, including R and shell programing, and analyzing data using population genetics tools and theories. Apart, the candidate should have good self-organization, be solution-oriented, and have good spoken and written English. Having a driver's license is not a necessity but will help with field work.

    **Your position** Our new research projects generally focus on (a) genomic signatures of climate adaptation, (b) signatures of genetic drift, including mutational load, and (c) conservation genomics. Our group has recently (long-read-) sequenced the genomes of individuals of many populations of North American Arabidopsis, and of a handful of Brassicaceae...
