The work will combine theory, statistical data analysis and the development of public access computer programs. Population genetics is an area of increasing importance to both medical genetics and evolutionary biology, using mathematical models as a tool for inferring the relationship between genetics and patterns of biological diversity. The Mathematical Genetics Group is one of the leading centres for research into population genetics theory and application. Strong links with empirical research groups in the University present an exciting opportunity to apply new theory to real problems.
Applications are welcome from either the biological or mathematical sciences.
The closing date for applications is the 31st May 2001.
