Doctoral student in Genomics

Job description

We are looking for a doctoral student that is eager to work on cutting-edge research questions that involve the analysis of third generation sequencing data. You will develop computational workflows to analyse (ultra) long sequencing data in order to identify trait-associated sequence variants. You will contribute to the generation of reference-quality genome assemblies and bovine pangenomes, and develop new approaches to analyse these data.

Active participation in international conferences is very much supported.

This is a fully funded position for 4 years with an anticipated start date of October 1st, (negotiable).

Further project details will be discussed further in the interview.
