Postdoctoral Fellow in statistical modeling for genomic data

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
Application deadline: April 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 analyse and make
predictions from 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
post-doc 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 postdoc will work at NTNU in Trondheim, and the
fellowship will be hosted by the Department of Mathematical
Sciences <https://www.ntnu.edu/imf>. 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 period of employment is 3 - 4 years. The
project leader is Associate Professor Stefanie Muff
(stefanie.muff@ntnu.no).
