PhD Opportunity in Bioinformatics & Population Genomics - FI-STEP
Fellowship

The Bioinformatics of Genome Diversity group at Institute of Biotechnology
and Biomedicine (UAB) is seeking a PhD candidate interested in applying
for an FI-STEP fellowship funded by AGAUR. We are looking for a motivated
student with a strong academic background in bioinformatics and genomics
to join our team.

Project Description
The selected candidate will join the PopLife project, a novel genomic
browser designed to integrate large-scale population genomic datasets from
diverse species. PopLife aims to facilitate comparative and meta-analyses
of genome-wide variation, enabling the exploration of patterns of genomic
diversity, adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics across species. By
joining this project, the PhD candidate will work at the intersection of
bioinformatics and evolutionary genomics, contributing to the development
of computational methods and the analysis of big-data in genomics.

Eligibility Requirements
European citizenship
Bachelor's degree in sciences
Enrolled in or completed a Master's program that allows for 300 ECTS
credits
Academic record with average grade >8.5

Key DATES
Deadline for contacting us: April 4, 2025
Start date: No later than November 1, 2025

The Bioinformatics of Genome Diversity group is a Consolidated Group
funded by AGAUR, offering a dynamic and interdisciplinary research
environment.
