PhD Position in Computational / Evolutionary Biology
100 %
Interfaculty Bioinformatics Unit (IBU)
Start of employment: 01.07.2025 or by agreement
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.
Tasks
- Develop and implement reproducible pipelines for population genomic analyses
- Analyze whole-genome resequencing data of Zingel asper
- Contribute to conservation and comparative genomics research
- Collaborate with the Earth BioGenome Project and European Reference Genome Atlas
- Work closely with researchers at the Naturhistorisches Museum Bern and the Institute of Ecology and Evolution
Requirements
- Strong background in next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis
- Experience in population genetics and/or evolutionary biology
- Motivation to work in interdisciplinary and collaborative research settings
- Proficiency in English (working language of the group)
We offer
- A PhD position in a dynamic and collaborative research environment
- Collaboration with leading national and international research consortia
- The opportunity to use long-read sequencing data to advance conservation genomics in non-model and endangered species, supporting evidence-based biodiversity management
