København Ø
Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre, The University of Copenhagen, invites applications for a computational Postdoc in the research group of Thorfinn Korneliussen. The position is to be filled by 1 September or as soon as possible hereafter.
Objectives
Over the next 3 years the Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre will be sequencing thousands of ancient genomes from a period spanning the last 50,000 years of human history, with the objective of elucidating human history, detecting and quantifying natural selection, and identifying environmental correlations of human genetic and demographic changes. The candidate will be working on the large ancient genomic dataset resulting from these efforts, in combination with functional datasets and medical biobanks.
The candidate is expected to develop and apply statistical methods to answer population genetic questions using ancient DNA or a combination of ancient and modern DNA. The candidate will have opportunity to design their project in consultation with the advisor.
Research environment
The candidate will work at the Lundbeck Foundation GeoGenetics Centre, a world-leading institution in ancient DNA studies. The position is for three years and is fully funded. The candidate will have opportunity to collaborate with leaders in the fields of paleogenomics, population genetics and quantitative genetics, like Eske Willerslev, Rasmus Nielsen, Martin Sikora, Fernando Racimo and Morten Allentoft.
The University of Copenhagen is ranked the 29th best university in the world according to Academic Ranking of World Universities 2018 (http://www.shanghairanking.com/ARWU2018.html). It provides excellent academic programs in biology, statistics, computer science and mathematics.
The GeoGenetics Centre is located in central Copenhagen, Denmark – a city that is ranked among the most liveable cities in the world (see e.g.: https://placebrandobserver.com/monocle-quality-of-life-survey-25-most-liveable-cities-2018/).
Thorfinn Korneliussen's group is working in applied statistical and computational approaches for analysis of large-scale genomic data, especially high throughput sequencing data.
