A
Doctoral student position, is available at the University of Helsinki,
Finland. The position is a part of a 5-year Academy of Finland funded
project, and aims to understand the processes shaping Atlantic salmon
demography in the wild.
Atlantic
salmon is a great organism to study gene-phenotype-fitness relationship
in the wild. The presence of substantial material from past research
and monitoring efforts, and a simple 2-locus system broadly controls
important life history variation (see refs below) allow for an
integrated framework to track adaptive genetic variation in Atlantic
salmon in the wild.
Using
multigenerational, multi population datasets composed of genetic and
phenotypic information, the PhD student will employ age structured
population models and whole food web approaches to understand the
evolutionary processes and ecological constrains shaping Atlantic salmon
life history variation and demography.
Application deadline: 2nd of August 2020
