Dear all, Please forward the following PhD vacancies to potential candidates: The Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO), located in Flanders, Belgium, has 4 PhD positions available for the following project: GA-GENOMICS: Deep diving into the genomic diversity of (meta)populations PhD 1 develops computational methods for the functional interpretation and visualization of population scale NGS data. The data and data analysis methods are exchanged with the other three PhD students through the six case studies. PhD 2 studies the driving forces (environmental or genetic) that form the basis of the adaptive power of perennial ryegrass cultivars and comb jelly populations. PhD 3 focuses on the influence of microbial populations in the rhizosphere on plant health or in the degradation of microplastics in sea water. PhD 4 investigates gastro-intestinal microbial communities and focuses on the effect of feed additives on methane production in cows and antibiotic resistance development in pigs.
