PROJECT: We are hiring a PhD student in ancient DNA who will be based at the Centre for Palaeogenetics (www.palaeogenetics.com), and enrolled at the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University. The project is aimed at investigating to what extent catastrophic black death and myxomatosis outbreaks on an isolated island affected the genomes of humans and rabbits, respectively. The project also aims to study how the microbes themselves evolved in response to the demographic and adaptive changes in the host taxa. The PhD project will be supervised by Anders G�therstr�m and Love Dal�n.
