PhD Research Fellow in Population Genomics

Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No

Offer Description

A 4-year position as PhD Research Fellow in Population Genomics is available at the Natural History Museum (NHM), University of Oslo. The 4-year fellowship includes 25% career-enhancing work, such as curation, teaching, supervision, research support and public outreach.

The project is supervised by Dr. Andrew Foote (NHM).

The PhD project will reconstruct the colonisation of high latitudes by North Atlantic killer whales (Orcinus orca), to better understand how populations responded to past climatic warming at the Pleistocene–Holocene transition. Range expansions and demographic change leave signatures in the genome, including changes in genetic diversity and in how genetic variation is distributed within and among populations. These signatures are not uniform along the genome, but depend on local genomic parameters such as mutation and recombination rate.
