Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics in Uppsala
1 PhD student in the research education subject: Plant Breeding and Genetics
Molecular breeding for a novel plant breeding species: Lepium Campestre
In the recently funded MISTRA Biotech project we have an exciting opportunity for an outstanding PhD student in plant breeding and quantitative genetics. This MISTRA project will study how biotechnology can increase sustainability and strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish agriculture and food systems. The highly multi-disciplinary programme has six component projects: CP1: Plant biotechnology for innovative products; CP2: Novel molecular breeding tools; CP3: Ethics; CP4: Consumers' attitudes and choices; CP5: Swedish competitiveness; CP6: Centre for agriculture and food systems analysis and synthesis (AgriSA). Within MISTRA Biotech, we will aim to domesticate Lepidium Campestre as a biennual oil producing crop. This post, which is placed within CP2, primarily deals with the development of the molecular toolbox for Lepidium Campestre. The post is shared between the department of Animal Breeding and Genetics in Uppsala and the department of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology in Alnarp. The PhD student will perform parts of his/her studies at both locations. The PhD student will collaborate closely with other researchers in CP2 and CP1. Duties: The responsibilities include: 1) Participation in the multiplication and controlled breeding of Lepidium Campestre as well as the collection of data and material from field trials. 2) Isolation of DNA from plant material, which will be sent off for RAD sequencing. 3) Population genetics analysis of RAD sequencing data on multiple Lepidium accessions. 4) Development of a high density linkage map for Lepidium. 5) Genome-wide analysis of field trial data and exploring the potential for genomic selection. 6) Interacting with all other component projects within Mistra. The project will be jointly supervised between the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics in Uppsala and the Department of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology in Alnarp. The candidate will initially be based in Alnarp.
