PhD scholarship in Palaeogenomics and Bioinformatics

DTU Health Tech, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark

This 3-year PhD position offers a unique opportunity to work at
the intersection of palaeogenomics, bioinformatics, and evolutionary
biology. The project focuses on developing novel computational methods
to improve genomic analyses of degraded or low-quality DNA, enabling
robust population genomic inference for extinct species.

Applicants should hold (or soon obtain) a two-year MSc degree in
bioinformatics, computational biology, evolutionary genomics, or related
fields. Strong programming skills and familiarity with NGS data and
genome assembly are expected.

The position is full-time, starting 1 February 2026 (or by agreement).
