Postdoc position on statistical genetics in plant breeding with special focus on cultivar mixtures in wheat

A postdoc position focusing on statistical genetic and the modelling of quantitative and disease resistance traits in commercial crops is available in March 2027, or as soon as possible thereafter at the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG), Aarhus University. The position The postdoc will develop statistical models and methods in a new breeding program for cultivar mixtures primarily in wheat, supporting higher yield stability and disease resistance for sustainable wheat production. Special focus will be on using genomic prediction for more efficient selection of new wheat …
