PhD Scholarship in Genetic Analysis of Archived Tissue Collections from Fish, Denmark

/ March 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

Archived historical material from fish in the form of scales and otoliths is found in many research institutions across the Nordic countries. Such population samples constitute a unique source of DNA for conducting retrospective analysis of genetic changes over time. They allow identification of historical changes in the distribution, migration and abundance of fish populations, as well as temporal evolutionary changes within populations in response to environmental change. This project aims at performing genetic/genomic analysis on historical collections of cod and potentially other fish species from several Nordic populations in order to estimate the temporal stability of population structure as well as adaptive micro-evolution in relation to climatic variation. The insights on relationships between population structure, evolution and climate should be used in conjunction with forecasting models of environmental change in order to predict future distribution and abundance of fish populations. The project is part of a Nordic Centre of Excellence and will include collaboration with and visits to research institutions in Norway and Greenland.

Qualifications
We are looking for a candidate who has:
* Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree, or equivalent, in Population- or Evolutionary Genetics
* Previous experience with molecular genetic analysis
* Proficiency in written and spoken English
* Keen interest in research and a wish to work in the field of population genetics and evolution of aquatic organisms
