> microbiome.
>
> A PhD position starting in Fall 2020 is available in the lab of
> Dr. Nandita Garud in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
> at the University of California, Los Angeles. We are broadly interested
> in understanding the evolutionary dynamics of natural populations with
> a current focus on the microbiome. The lab develops statistical and
> computational methods to gain insight into evolutionary processes from
> population genomic data.
>
> Students will have substantial input in the specific nature of their
> research project. However, the project should broadly fit within the
> lab¢s goals of learning about adaptation in natural populations and
> evolutionary dynamics in the microbiome. As this is a computational lab,
> prior experience in in programming in R, Perl, or Python, and shell
> scripting is preferred.
