Four 4-year PhD studentships are available in the Van de Peer Lab (Bioinformatics and evolutionary genomics) at the VIB Center for Plant Systems Biology at Ghent University, Belgium.
The Van de Peer lab studies the evolution of (plant) genomes and in particular the importance of gene and genome duplication for evolution and adaptation. This is done mainly using computational approaches but more recently also using evolutionary experiments and through lab work.
