The University of Edinburgh offers a PhD opportunity to explore genomic mechanisms in karyotypic evolution and speciation in guenons, the most genetically diverse African primates. This project will investigate chromosomal structural variations, the role of genomic features in gene flow, and evolutionary processes. Candidates will apply cutting-edge genomic technologies such as PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C data analysis. The PhD will involve collaboration with international researchers, providing a comprehensive training environment in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics. Applicants should have a strong background in evolutionary biology and bioinformatics, with proficiency in genomic data analysis.
