Martin Johnsson

The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) is seeking a PhD student to join research on genomic prediction and genetic variation in farm animals. The project will focus on genomics, genetic diversity, and modern animal breeding methods, with particular emphasis on cattle and potential work with poultry. The research will involve simulation studies and the application of advanced genetic techniques to improve animal breeding outcomes. Supervised by Martin Johnsson, a quantitative geneticist and docent (associate professor) at SLU, the position offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of biology, agriculture, and veterinary science. Candidates with a background in biology, genetics, genomics, or related fields are encouraged to apply. Experience in simulation or statistical analysis is considered an asset. Applicants should apply through the official application system linked in the post. The position is ideal for those interested in advancing their expertise in animal genetics and breeding within a leading Swedish research institution. Please share this opportunity with anyone who may be interested.
