*JOB DESCRIPTION*

A two year postdoc position is available within the recently funded 

project €˜Next generation tools to exploit genome diversity in domestic 

species€™. Two research topics are possible, or a mixture of both:

1- Use of sequence data in genomic selection. We will investigate by 

simulation, but using real sequence data, what are the potential 

advantages of sequence over high density genotyping under realistic 

genetic architectures.

2- To develop a population genetics model that mimic domestication and 

breed structure in livestock. Focusing in the pig species and using 

genomewide sequence data, the goal is to adjust a population genetics 

model that can be used as neutral model to test for selection.

*THE RESEARCH TEAM*

The PhD project wil be supervised by Miguel Pérez-Enciso (ICREA 

professor, http://www.icrea.cat/Web/ScientificForm.aspx?key=255; 

http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Lpl_-dcAAAAJ&hl=es), in 

cooperation with S.E. Ramos-Onsins. Recent related publications include:

The research will be developed in the recently built Centre for Research

Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona (www.uab.es), Spain.
