Postdoc in Population Genomics focused on Greenlandic land mammals

Project

The postdoc will be working on an exciting population genomics project about Greenlandic land mammals, including arctic fox, caribou, arctic hare, wolves, and lemmings. She/he will have the opportunity to analyse several whole genome datasets, which will be ready to be analysed from day 1. You can read about the project here: Project Link. It is a collaboration with The Greenland Institute of Natural Resources among others.

Research Group

The research group currently consists of 1 PhD student and 3 postdocs and has a joint lab environment with 3 other research groups (the groups of Hans Siegismund, Anders Albrechtsen, and Rasmus Heller) with similar interests and complementing skills. This lab environment includes joint weekly lab meetings, shared offices and lots of collaborative projects. Additionally, Ida Moltke's research group has well-established collaborations with several other research groups both nationally (e.g. at the Globe Institute and The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research), and internationally (e.g. UC Berkeley and UCL).

Qualifications

To be considered, applicants must have a PhD in population genetics/genomics, bioinformatics or a similar quantitative field. In addition to this formal requirement, we are looking for a candidate that:

  • is highly motivated
  • has a strong interest - and ideally a strong background - in population genomics
  • has the ability to program in at least one common programming language (e.g. C/C++, python or R) and experience in working with linux/unix and command lines
  • has experience in working with genetic data, ideally with high-throughput whole genome DNA sequencing data
  • is able to conduct and complete high-quality research both independently, and in collaboration with the PI and project partners
  • is able to communicate scientific results effectively, both in writing and verbally
  • has published high-quality international peer-reviewed articles
  • has good interpersonal and communication skills

Proficiency in spoken and written English is a requirement.

Position Details

The position is a 2-year position which is open from 1 December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.

Terms of Employment
