PhD position in statistical modeling for genomic data The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Application deadline: March 4th 2025 The position is part of the research project "Prediction of genetic values and adaptive potential in the wild" funded through a Consolidator Grant by the European Research Council (ERC). A major goal of the project is to develop cutting-edge statistical methodology to analyze large-scale genomic data, which is currently generated for many wild animal populations. To this end, the project combines modern statistical methodology and builds on the current state-of-the art in animal breeding, human genomics, ecology and evolutionary biology. The student will thus work with a cross-disciplinary team of researchers and can contribute towards the development of methods that will make an impact to better understand evolution and the robustness of wild animal populations, with the ultimate goal to help preserving biodiversity. The PhD candidate will work at NTNU in Trondheim, and the fellowship will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical Sciences (https://www.ntnu.edu/imf). The successful applicant will be offered a three-year position, with the possibility for extension up to 12 months if teaching duties are attained. The project is a close collaboration with evolutionary ecologists from the Department of Biology (https://www.ntnu.edu/biology) and the Gjærevoll Centre (https://www.ntnu.edu/gjaerevoll) at NTNU, as well as with international researchers in the field. The project leader and your main supervisor will be Associate Professor Stefanie Muff.
