Deadline: May 9, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NTNU University Museum is seeking a highly qualified, ambitious, and motivated PhD candidate for a project focusing on genomics of Arctic alien plants. A warming climate, changes in soil properties, and rising human activity in the Arctic increase the probability of introduction and establishment of alien plant species. In high-Arctic Svalbard and other Arctic regions, the wintercress (Barbarea vulgaris<\/em>) is an established alien species. Hypotheses for its success include multiple introductions from different genetic sources, enemy release advantage related to plant defense compounds, and shifts in adaptive traits.<\/p>\n\n\n

The PhD project will develop genomic datasets, making use of field collections and herbarium resources, and have the possibility to develop experimental evidence to examine links between the genomic basis of successful establishment and potential invasiveness in the high-Arctic. The wintercress will be a primary focus of the project, but complementary research on parallel systems may be developed. The project will add an important evolutionary component to ongoing interdisciplinary research on Arctic greening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful candidate will be employed at the NTNU University Museum\u2019s Department of Natural History. The NTNU University Museum is the natural and cultural history museum of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. The Department of Natural History conducts research in systematics and taxonomy, evolutionary genomics, as well as in phylogeography, population genetics, and ecology with an emphasis on conservation biology. Your immediate leader will be the Head of Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team of supervisors will consist of Ass. Prof. Kristine Bakke Westergaard<\/a> (main supervisor), as well as co-supervisors Prof. Mike Martin<\/a> and Dr. Simone Fior<\/a> (ETH Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland). The candidate will use the NTNU University Museum\u2019s herbarium, genomics laboratory facilities and computational resources, and the work will be closely associated with a project on Arctic greening based at ETH Z\u00fcrich. The work will also be part of the Nordic Borealization Network\u00a0 that seeks to understand the processes, drivers, and consequences of changes in the species composition of tundra ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
