Four 4-year PhD studentships are available in the Van de Peer Lab (Bioinformatics and evolutionary genomics) at the VIB Center for Plant Systems Biology at Ghent University, Belgium.
The Van de Peer lab studies the evolution of (plant) genomes and in particular the importance of gene and genome duplication for evolution and adaptation. This is done mainly using computational approaches but more recently also using evolutionary experiments and through lab work.
In particular, we are looking for the following applicants:
- One PhD student will conduct academic research (full-time) in the field of ‘evolve and resequence’ experiments and evolutionary genomics. Starting January 2020.
- One PhD student will conduct academic research (full-time) in the field of network biology. Starting January 2020.
- One PhD student will conduct academic research (full-time) in the field of evolutionary genomics. Starting January 2020.
- One PhD student will conduct academic research (full-time) in the field of insect genomics and epigenetics. Starting January 2020.
