Description
:Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow – P Skoglund Lab
Reporting to: Pontus Skoglund, Group Leader
Contract term: This is a full-time, fixed-term position for 4 years, on Crick terms and conditions of employment
The Research Group
Pontus Skoglund's Ancient Genomics Lab at the Francis Crick Institute in London is looking for a postdoctoral fellow interested in ancient human population genomics, to focus on reconstructing genetic history and/or natural selection with whole-genomes sequenced in the lab. The Skoglund Ancient Genomics lab (www.skoglundlab.org) is a dynamic team with backgrounds in computational biology, molecular biology and archaeology, with state-of-the-art computational infrastructure and bioinformatic support. The lab sequences ancient DNA from thousands of samples every year. The Francis Crick Institute (www.crick.ac.uk) is the largest biomedical institute under one roof in Europe.
Project summary
Ancient genomics has provided remarkable insights into the human past. Genome-wide SNP data is available for over 10,000 individuals, but whole-genomes of high-enough quality to reconstruct imputed diploid genomes are more rare. Genetic history has been possible to infer between differentiated ancestries, but finer-scale genetic history has remained elusive. Recently, we have developed a new method, dubbed , that can boost high-resolution ancestry modelling e.g. using the framework by 10-fold or more (Speidel . 2024, ). This postdoc offers an opportunity to analyse human genomes generated in the lab and from the literature to reconstruct high-resolution genetic history in Europe and elsewhere.
New whole-genome data also offers opportunities to study natural selection and functional genomics in greater detail. For example, we have revealed evidence for natural selection on immunity in Neolithic Europe, where late farming groups had an excess of ancestry from previous hunter-gatherers at the major MHC immunity locus (Davy . 2023 ). This postdoc offers an opportunity to work with high-resolution genomes generated in the lab and from the literature to study single-locus selective sweeps, polygenic natural selection, and evolution of copy number variants.
Postdoctoral Fellows will lead their own projects, contribute to other projects on a collaborative basis (both in the lab and with external collaborators) and may guide PhD students in their research. The ability to work in a team is essential.
Experience and competencies
The post holder should embody and demonstrate our core Crick values: Bold,
Open, Collegial , in addition to the following:
PhD (or in final stages of PhD submission) with a project on population genetics or a related field
Experience of studies of genetic history and/or natural selection
A productive track record of publications and/or submitted manuscripts
Strong computational and coding skills
Ability to manage project timelines at pace
Ability to work collaboratively and collegially in small teams
If you are interested in applying for this role, please apply via our website.
Please note, all offers of employment are subject to successful security screening and continuous eligibility to work in the United Kingdom. If you require a visa to work in the UK we will help support your application should you be successful.
