*PhD student position at Stockholm University* We have an open four-year position for a PhD student in the Swedish Research Council funded project "Convergent evolution and loss of distyly ' genetic causes and genomic consequences". The aim of the project is to investigate the genetic basis and genomic consequences of convergent evolution and loss of the floral polymorphism distyly in Linum (wild flaxseed species). The PhD student will use a combination of experiments, functional genomics and genomic analyses to investigate the genetic basis of distyly in Linum and to test hypotheses on the genetic basis and genomic consequences of breakdown of distyly. As there have been multiple losses of distyly in Linum, this system is ideally suited for characterizing the genomic consequences of this shift in a comparative framework. The project builds on recently published work from our group (Guti�rrez-Valencia et al. 2022. Current Biology 32: 4360-4371). For this position, we are looking for a person with a strong interest in evolutionary genetics, who enjoys both experimental work and genomic analyses. The complete ad with information on qualification requirements and instructions on how to apply through the Stockholm University system (application link in ad) is available here: https://shorturl.at/acvFX The PhD student will join the research group of Dr Tanja Slotte (http://tanjaslottelab.se) and will be enrolled in the research subject Ecology and Evolution at the Dept. of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, Stockholm University. The working atmosphere is international with English as the working language, and the position offers plenty of opportunities for scientific exchange with both evolutionary geneticists, plant biologists, and ecologists. The city of Stockholm is known for its beauty, its buildings and architecture and its abundant clean and open water. For additional questions on the position, please contact Dr Tanja Slotte directly.

In this project, we will test whether population genetic methods that identify genetic variants associated with environmental variation can efficiently identify adaptive genetic variation for crop improvement in collections of crop wild relatives. The results can potentially contribute to more efficient utilization of crop wild relative collections to unlock wild genetic variation for food security and fibre production in a changing climate. The project is funded by Formas and will include collaborations with researchers at the Swedish Agricultural University (Uppsala and Alnarp, Sweden), Durham University (United Kingdom), and University of Granada (Spain).
