The doctoral student will be part of a comparative genomics project on the protist group diplomonads under the supervision of Dr. Jan Andersson.
Project description:
Diplomonads are a group of anaerobic microbial eukaryotes that have two cell nuclei. The human intestinal parasite /Giardia lamblia /belongs to diplomonads, but there are also free-living members of the group. The project will study how genetic information is transferred between the two nuclei, among diplomonads, and between diplomonads and other organisms, over evolutionary time. The aim is an understanding how these and other evolutionary processes interact with various lifestyles within the group.
Comparative genomic methods will be used on data generated with next-generation sequencing methods from a diversity of diplomonads. The project will have a strong bioinformatic component, but also molecular biology methods may be included. The results from this project are relevant for epidemiological studies, although the main focus will be on a deeper understanding of genome evolution of microbial eukaryotes.
The position will be within a creative international research environment at the Department of Genomics, Evolution and Systematics at Uppsala University.
The project is in collaboration with research groups in Sweden and Canada.
Qualifications:
We are looking for an excellent, strongly motivated candidate with a keen interest in microbial evolution. The PhD position requires a Master of Science, or equivalent, in bioinformatics,microbiology, molecular biology, or in a field which is relevant for the topic of the project.
Your application should include a short description of research interests and relevant experiences, curriculum vitae, copy of relevant exam and notes, master’s thesis or an outline thereof, and other relevant information you wish to include.
