PhD-position in hybridization genomics at Lund University


Hi all,

I would want to announce an opening for a PhD-student in hybridization genomics at Lund University, Sweden, and I would be really grateful if you could spread this add in your networks.

We have an opening for an ambitious PhD-student within the HybridExpress ERC-project. The goal of the PhD project is to address the role of gene expression in hybridization derived novelty, using Mediterranean island populations of the hybrid Italian sparrow (Passer italiae) as a study system. This is a 4 year fully funded position for an evolutionary biology MSc with strong skills in bioinformatics. 

The Department of Biology is a vibrant research environment with 300 employees, with a lot of opportunities for scientific discussion including invited Departmental lecturers, journal clubs and discussion meetings. The department also offers great opportunities for social interactions through a well-visited departmental pub, board game evenings, floor hockey and indoor soccer activities. Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world's top 100 universities. The University has around 44 000 students and more than 8 000 staff.
