In the Korneliussen group we develop statistical methods to facilitate analysis of high throughput sequencing data. Past projects have been state-of-the-art methods within population genetics, such as demographic inference, population structure, and signatures of selection, but also methods within medical genetics with a special emphasis on the direct application of these to low-coverage data and ancient DNA. The candidate will have opportunities to shape their projects in consultation with the advisor, and the project can range from theoretical methods development to empirical data analysis. The applicant will be solidly embedded within the core group of the Lundbeck GeoGenetics Centre and the Centre for Ancient Environmental Genomics (caeg) and will have access to the data generated from the high throughput sequencing center as part of the GeoGenetics Centre.
