Two PhD positions in Statistical Genomics / Computational Genomics

Two PhD positions in Statistical Genomics / Computational Genomics

This is a unique opportunity for two doctoral students to participate in an international collaboration between two research institutes in Switzerland and Belgium. The at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences at ETH Zurich and the Quantitative Genetics & Genomics group of Dr. Tom Druet from the University of Liège, Belgium, investigate DNA variation in individual animal genomes and at the population scale. Our groups apply state of the art technologies to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of farm animals with long and short reads, and apply bioinformatics and statistical genomics approaches to characterize trait-associated sequence variation. We offer two PhD positions at the interface of computational and statistical genomics, and bioinformatics.
