[Socbin] 8 PhD positions available in Genomic Ecology in Lund

[Dag Ahrén]

Dear colleagues,
The Centre for Genomic Ecology is recruiting  8 postgraduate 
scholarships in Genomic Ecology see details in the Nature advert 
(http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/science/jobs/49522) and the 
description below. Could you please communicate this opportunity to 
interested students.

*Deadline for applications is the 15th of May*

Thanks,
Dag Ahrén

The Centre for Genomic Ecology (CGE) is a new interdisciplinary research 
environment at Lund University on the interface between ecology, 
evolutionary biology, molecular biology, bioinformatics and genomics. A 
long-term goal is to achieve an integrated understanding of the 
molecular, evolutionary and ecological mechanisms and processes that are 
involved in the generation of the immense diversity of form, and 
function that characterizes living organisms. As part of this 
initiative, The Swedish Research Council has funded a Graduate Research 
School in Genomic Ecology. The research school is now opening 8 new 
postgraduate scholarships in the following areas:

. Longitudinal experiments to understand molecular mechanisms behind 
evolution of the modern yeast traits
. Invasion patterns of a bloom-forming alga
. Evolutionary dynamics of microbial communities
. Evolution of novel pheromones - molecular and genomic mechanisms
. Pheromone strains, host races and speciation in a moth
. Genome evolution of symbiotic and parasitic fungi
. Transcriptional responses in mycorrhizal fungi during weathering of 
minerals
. Molecular interactions between symbiotic fungi and plant roots
