PhD in population genetics

The group of Plant Ecology and Evolution, Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Basel, Switzerland, is looking for a PhD student in the field of Conservation Genetics./nThe project aims to verify how reported dynamics of decline in rare plant species align with inferred trajectories of effective population size and to assess whether habitat and species protection have impacted these trajectories. Practical work involves collecting plant material, wet lab work, bioinformatics, population genetic analysis, and growing plants to assess mutation accumulation./nLocation: Basel, Switzerland.
