PhD student Genome Evolution of Basal Cellular Processes (1,0 FTE)

We are looking for a PhD student as part of the recently awarded NWO VICI proposal “coevolution and convergence: understanding and exploiting genomic diversity of core cellular processes". An integral part of this project is the use of comparative genomics to study traces of coevolution and recurrent evolution in large genome data sets. This PhD project will encompass development of tools and databases that will allow the detection of theses patterns in the rapidly increasing but also noisy data set of completely sequenced eukaryotic
genomes.
