Study Subject(s):Human Evolutionary Genetics
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: ERC, University of Cambridge, UK
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility:
Applicants should have a Masters degree and/or the equivalent of at least a high 2:1 UK honours degree in one of the following areas: Population Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology or similar field. Programming skills, experience with computer simulations and familiarity with analysis tools designed for genome-wide genotype and second generation sequencing data will be an advantage.
Scholarship Open for International Students: No
Scholarship Description: The Department of Archaeology and Anthropology is pleased to announce a PhD studentship in Human Evolutionary Genetics to start in October 2011. The three-year studentship is available as part of an ERC funded project entitled, An inter-disciplinary approach for identifying evolutionary active regions in the human genome. The project involves research on the variation of human genome in populations from various climate zones. It will combine evidence from Humanities and Natural Sciences to build realistic demographic models of population differentiation and dispersals over the past 100 thousand years and using high-throughput genotyping and second generation sequencing methods will attempt to reveal regions in the genome that have been affected by natural selection due to environment and life style differences.
