Project Overview

The postdoctoral researcher will be working on a cutting-edge population genomics project focusing on Greenlandic land mammals, including arctic foxes, caribou, arctic hares, wolves, and lemmings. This project is a collaborative effort with the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources and other esteemed institutions.

Research Environment

Ida Moltke's research group excels in two primary areas: population genomics and medical genomics, with a strong emphasis on their intersection. By developing and applying computational methods to genetic data, the team aims to identify key genetic variants associated with various diseases and traits. Specifically, this project seeks to gain insights into how different populations have genetically adapted to diverse environments and conditions, as well as the impact of demographic history on these populations.

Job Description

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will contribute to the development and execution of research projects within population genomics. Your duties will include conducting research, teaching, and collaborating with the principal investigator and project partners. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in population genetics/genomics, bioinformatics, or a similar quantitative field.

Required Skills and Qualifications

  • PhD in population genetics/genomics, bioinformatics, or a similar quantitative field
  • Strong programming skills in at least one common language (e.g., C/C++, Python, R) and experience working with Linux/Unix and command lines
  • Familiarity with genetic data, preferably with high-throughput whole genome DNA sequencing data
  • Able to conduct and complete high-quality research independently and collaboratively
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Published high-quality international peer-reviewed articles

Benefits

The University of Copenhagen offers a stimulating and inclusive work environment.
