Aarhus University offers a PhD fellowship in Quantitative Genetics, focusing on developing genomic prediction methods for genetically admixed populations. The research will explore how genetic admixture impacts genomic research in both human and livestock populations, with a particular focus on dairy cattle and polygenic risk scores in humans. The candidate will be involved in developing methods to account for genetic background effects, comparing prediction accuracies, and investigating genomic prediction across generations. Applicants must hold a Master’s degree in a relevant quantitative field, have experience in scientific programming (e.g., Julia, R, Python), and possess strong communication and organizational skills. The position is available from May 2025 onward.
