About this position

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Agronomy focused on simulation-based wheat breeding optimisation at the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry in Akademija, Lithuania.

The project aims to develop next-generation computational wheat breeding strategies to improve genetic gain, preserve genetic diversity, and support global food production under climate change. Research will involve simulation tools, statistical frameworks, phenotypic and genomic information, and analysis of simulated data using computational and statistical methods.

Core research interests include agronomy, plant breeding, quantitative genetics, bioinformatics, simulation modelling, statistics, and computational biology. The successful candidate will work on evaluating breeding strategies, assessing breeding decisions, and contributing to peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

Eligibility highlights: a Master’s degree in Plant Science, Agronomy, Genetics, Bioinformatics, or a related field; good English skills; and interest in genetic or bioinformatic analysis. Experience in plant breeding, crop science, statistical modelling, data analysis, simulation, or programming in R/Python is advantageous.

Funding: fully funded 4-year PhD position with salary and employment conditions according to Lithuanian doctoral regulations. The position is open to international students.

Application deadline: 31 August 2026. Required documents include a motivation letter, CV, Master’s diploma and supplement, passport/ID copy, and a list of scientific publications.
