BACKGROUND

We have three (3) PhD positions for highly motivated students to join our dynamic research team in one of the world's leading ancient DNA centres. Candidates must have a 1st Class Honours or Masters degree, an excellent undergraduate academic record and meet the English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirement. The call is open to international and domestic students with a background in bioinformatics, programming or population/quantitative/statistical genetics. In addition, a passion for human history and archaeology is desirable along with demonstrable analytical skills. The projects will suit hard-working and self-motivated candidates equipped with good skills in critical and independent thinking. Training will focus on the analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing data with a special emphasis on the utilisation and expansion of population and quantitative genetic methods for paleogenomic data. Successful candidates will also have the opportunity to assist in the development and application of cutting-edge reference genome approaches for humans and other organisms. Training opportunities to advance wet-laboratory techniques can be offered in parallel.

REQUIREMENTS

Great computational skills are required and a successful candidate would be competent in:

Querying a SQL (PostgresQL) database
Data analysis and management skills
Fluency in using Linux systems, with a good hands-on experience with Bash scripting
Advanced programming in a scripting language such as Python and/or R
