Project

The postdoc will be working on an exciting population genomics project about Greenlandic land mammals, including arctic fox, caribou, arctic hare, wolves, and lemmings. She/he will have the opportunity to analyse several whole genome datasets, which will be ready to be analysed from day 1. You can read about the project here: https://www.carlsbergfondet.dk/det-har-vi-stoettet/cf20-0539/. It is a collaboration with The Greenland Institute of Natural Resources among others.

Research environment

Ida Moltke’s research group focuses on two research areas - population genomics and medical genomics and combinations of the two. By developing and applying computational methods to genetic data, it aims to identify genetic variants that play a role in different diseases and traits. And more importantly for this postdoc position it aims to gain insights into how different populations have genetically adapted to the different environments/conditions they are exposed to (see e.g. Fumagalli*, Moltke* et al. 2015, Santander & Moltke 2024) and how they are affected by their demographic history (e.g. Pedersen et al. 2017, Quinn et al. 2023, Liu et al. 2024, Balboa et al., 2024, and Bertola et al. 2024). For more information see https://idamoltke.wordpress.com.

The research group currently consists of 1 PhD student and 3 postdocs and has a joint lab environment with 3 other research groups (the groups of Hans Siegismund, Anders Albrechtsen, and Rasmus Heller) with similar interests and complementing skills. This lab environment includes joint weekly lab meetings, shared offices and lots of collaborative projects. Additionally, Ida Moltke’s research group has well-established collaborations with several other research groups both nationally (e.g. at the Globe Institute and The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research), and internationally (e.g. UC Berkeley and UCL). The university and the city

University of Copenhagen is a highly ranked university (see e.g. https://about.ku.dk/facts-figures/rankings/) and the research group is located in the Biocenter (http://www.biocenter.ku.dk/) in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Importantly, Copenhagen is considered among the most liveable cities in the world (see e.g. here and here) and is really easy to get to, from and around.
