> students who pursue a PhD degree. MS candidates will be also considered.
>
> Students will be engaged in a project on the historic, current and future
> status of bison herds from biological, archaeological, and cultural
> perspectives. This cross-disciplinary project represents an opportunity
> to get intensive training in the methods of ancient and modern DNA
> analyses including high-throughput genome sequencing, stable isotope
> studies, computational analysis and statistical modelling. The examples
> of our recent publications: Ovchinnikov et al. Diversity and Origin of
> the Feral Horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. PLoS One, 2018,
> 13(8); Davies et al. Isotopic Paleoecology of Northern Great Plains Bison
> during the Holocene. Scientific Reports, 2019, 9(1): 16637. Although
> the wildlife project is focused on bison genetics and paleoecology, we
> have opportunities to develop new projects on computational analysis of
> big oral and environmental microbiome data as well as on genomics and
> microbiome study of human migrations and evolution.
>
> Candidates should demonstrate motivation for hard laboratory work and
> strong interest in genomics and computational biology. Preference will be
> given to candidates with a proven record of computational analysis and
> bioinformatics skills. Additional experience in sequencing technologies
> is a plus.
