PhD Positions in Ecology, Molecular Genetics & Bioinformatics, EpiDiverse, Europe (2018)

EpiDiverse, a MSCA-ITN network comprised of 12 European institutions country is a new European Training Network that involves leading research institutions in the fields of ecology, molecular genetics and bioinformatics. The network is funded by a Marie Sklodowska Curie Action of the European Commission.

We are happy to announce 15 open PhD positions in this network for highly motivated candidates from the fields of plant sciences, ecology, (epi)genetics, (epi)genomics, computational biology or bioinformatics.

The EpiDiverse research focuses on epigenetic variation in different wild plant species. Research groups from computational biology, molecular genetics and ecology team up to address the genomic basis, the molecular mechanisms and the ecological significance of epigenetic variation. If you want to do your PhD in one of these research fields and like the idea of contributing to, and learning from, such cross-disciplinary teams - we are looking for you! These projects provide an excellent opportunity to receive cross-disciplinary doctoral training and to do innovative research in plant epigenetics.

EpiDiverse provides a comprehensive training program that includes summer schools, workshops and exchange visits to different groups in the network. We will offer training in molecular, genomic, computational, ecological and evolutionary aspects of studying natural epigenetic variation, as well as in transferable skills.

We will start reviewing applications by 24 November 2017 and will continue until the positions are filled.
