*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:

domesticpigs and Tibetan wild boars. Nature Genetics
(correspondence), accepted.
