DPhil studentship in theoretical and applied population genetics. The research will focus on the interactions between natural selection and population structure, combining theory, data analysis and the development of computer programs. Population genetics is an area of research important to both medical genetics and evolutionary biology.
Applications are welcome from either the biological or mathematical sciences.
Applications are invited from UK and European Union residents. For EU residents outside the UK, the grant would pay fees, but not the stipend. The Mathematical Genetics group within the Department of Statistics is one of the leading centres for research into population genetics theory and application. The closing date for applications is the 31st May 2001. Inferring parameters of mutation, selection and demography from patterns of synonymous evolution in Drosophila.
