Postdoc in Population Genomics focused on Greenlandic land mammals

2 months ago

København, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

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 analyze several whole genome datasets, which will be ready to be analyzed from day 1. You can read about the project here . It is a collaboration with The Greenland Institute of Natural Resources among others.

Research environment
Ida Moltke’s research group focuses on two research areas - population genomics and medical genomics and combinations of the two. By developing and applying computational methods to genetic data, it aims to identify genetic variants that play a role in different diseases and traits. More importantly for this postdoc position, it aims to gain insights into how different populations have genetically adapted to the different environments/conditions they are exposed to (see e.g. Fumagalli*, Moltke* et al. 2015, Santander & Moltke 2024) and how they are affected by their demographic history (e.g. Pedersen et al. 2017, Quinn et al. 2023, Liu et al. 2024, Balboa et al. , 2024, and Bertola et al. 2024). For more information see here .

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).

The university and the city
University of Copenhagen is a highly ranked university (see e.g. here ) and the research group is located in the Biocenter (here ) in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Importantly, Copenhagen is considered among the most livable cities in the world.

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.

Practical information
The postdoc’s duties will include research within population genomics as well as teaching. Further information on the Department is linked at here . Inquiries about the position can be made to .

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.
