4-year PhD on pollinator genomics with focus on museum samples 
(deadline: 30 April 2024)

The Department of Zoology invites applications for a four-year PhD 
position based at the Centre for Palaeogenetics in Stockholm. The 
project is aimed at investigating temporal patterns of population 
structure and genomic diversity in pollinating insect populations. The 
analyses will use state-of-the-art genomic and palaeogenomic methods 
with focus on recovering DNA from museum specimens collected throughout 
the last 200 years. This will be a conservation genomics project part of 
a research programme funded by the Swedish Research Council and focused 
on investigating the genomic effects of population decline in insect 
pollinators. The PhD student will join the research group led by David 
Díez-del-Molino at the Centre for Palaeogenetics located on the 
Stockholm University campus.

The following criteria will be used to fill the position: the 
candidates' documented knowledge in a relevant field of research, 
written and oral proficiency in English, the capacity for analytical 
thinking, the ability to collaborate, as well as creativity, initiative, 
and independence. The assessment will be based on previous experience 
and grades, the quality of the degree project, references, relevant 
experience, interviews, and the candidate's written motivation to apply 
for the position. Experience in population genetics, insect ecology, 
bioinformatics, and working in a DNA laboratory 
(ancient/historical/modern) are relevant qualifications.
