*PhD student position at Stockholm University* We have an open 4-year PhD student position in Plant Evolutionary Genomics. The PhD student will investigate the evolutionary drivers and genomic consequences of pollen evolution in association with shifts in pollination mode in flowering plants. The work will involve comparative genomic analyses in a phylogenetic framework, as well as population genomic and transcriptomic analyses in suitable plant systems. For this position, we are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest and training in evolutionary genomics. Skills in coding and/or botany are beneficial but not required. The complete ad with information on qualification requirements and instructions on how to apply is at: https://su.varbi.com/en/what:job/jobID:805144/where:4/ Application deadline: April 22, 2025 The PhD position is fully funded and is part of the large interdisciplinary project "Harnessing evolutionary transitions, machine learning, and genomics to decode pollen evolution and unravel sexual selection mechanisms shared across kingdoms" led by Prof. Tanja Slotte in close collaboration with co-investigators Prof. John Fitzpatrick, Prof. Catarina Rydin, and Dr. Allison Hsiang at Stockholm University. The PhD student will join the research group of Prof. Tanja Slotte (http://tanjaslottelab.se) and will be enrolled in the research subject Ecology and Evolution at the Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, Stockholm University. The working atmosphere is international with English as the working language, and the position offers plenty of opportunities for scientific exchange with both evolutionary geneticists, plant biologists, and ecologists. The city of Stockholm is known for its beauty, its buildings and architecture and its abundant clean and open water.
