Hi,
We are looking for a new post-doc colleague to work with us on the exciting
GenoForage project (Genomic breeding of forages) - a combination of
quantitative & population genetics and applied breeding.
The post is funded for 2 years by a leading plant breeding organisation and
The University of Edinburgh. We will support you to develop your future
options through interactions with the HighlanderLab at The Roslin Institute
https://www.ed.ac.uk/roslin/highlanderlab
The work will include:
i) gathering and analysing existing and simulated data to estimate additive
and dominance genetic associations between genomic markers and multi-trait
phenotypes;
ii) analysing past genetic trends in means, variances, and correlations for
additive and dominance components of genetic value, including inbreeding
depression and heterosis;
iii) developing a breeding strategy that will leverage genomic data to
shorten long breeding and development times as well as to optimise crossing
plans for total genetic value, hence minimising inbreeding depression; and
iv) interaction with the HighlanderLab, including other research and
development opportunities.
