Your task will be to set up necessary agreements to obtain samples of the species from South East Asia region, and carry out whole genome sequencing of the populations to identify convergent and diverging patterns of adaptation among the species, especially adaptations related to their root microbiome, and to understand the extent of gene flow as well as historical population dynamics.</p>\n\n\n<p><b><b>Research Environment</b></b></p>\n\n\n<p>The work is carried out in the research group of Asst Prof Jarkko Salojärvi. The group studies population genomics and systems biology in plants. A particular research interest is the link between microevolution and macroevolution, that is, adaptation in populations versus long-term evolution at genome level. The group is divided between Nanyang Technological University at Singapore and University of Helsinki at Finland. The Singapore group is recently established and focuses on computational analyses, for which the host university has provided ample resources.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Reference</strong></p>\n\n\n<p>Salojärvi, Smolander et al.
