About the position
To understand evolutionary processes in coastal marine ecosystems, with a focus on sessile organisms, the appointed researcher will work with analyses of genomic data (NGS). The aim of the project is to enhance understanding of the role of genomic variation in coastal species, as well as the drivers of change.
The position is part of a strategically funded project to enhance research within genomics with relevance to nature-based solutions and low-trophic cultivation at UiA. Hence, an applied component to the scope of the research may be developed that aligns with these aims.
**Responsibilities**:
Coastal areas are environments highly affected by a changing climate and other human impacts. As a researcher, you will collaborate with an interdisciplinary research team. You will analyze large-scale genomic datasets to uncover ecological and evolutionary drivers of change in genomic diversity with emphasis on the fluctuating and heterogenous coastal zone.
