The Graduate Research School in Genomic Ecology (GENECO) at Lund University now opens for new applicants
At this moment, we are opening for applications from PhD students enrolled at universities in Sweden and neighbouring countries, for the 2017 cohort: deadline January 20th 2017.
What is GENECO?
Genomic Ecology is an interdisciplinary research field at the interface between ecology, evolution, molecular biology and genomics. It forges the links between molecular biologists who work with genomics (and "post-genomic" tools), evolutionary biologists and ecologists who aim to understand the genetic mechanisms that underlie the process of evolution. Lund University provides an internationally recognized strong research environment within genomic ecology research.
What do we offer?
- A stimulating environment to meet and network with other PhD students and scientists working at the interface between ecology, evolution, molecular biology, genomics and bioinformatics.
- A variety of advanced PhD courses (will give graduate education credits).
- The opportunity to attend an international two-week workshop in Cesky Krumlov 'Workshop on Genomics'.
- A mentor programme directed to career planning inside or outside academia, networking and professional/personal development.
- Opportunity to apply for travel grants to cover a research visit to a foreign laboratory.
