PhD researcher ‘Wild Boar Population Genetics’ Netherlands
PhD researcher ‘Wild Boar Population Genetics’
(Gelderland), 38 hours per week
Wageningen University and Researchcentre
Job description
The aim of this project is to analyze the effects of the population
structure of the European Wild Boar on the prevalence and transmission
of parasites, as well as the selective effects on immune related genes.
The Wild Boar is increasing its range, reaching levels previously
unrecorded. This has already contributed to spread of many contagious
diseases. This can negatively affect the fitness and trophy quality of
game species, public health, livestock health, and the conservation of
endangered species.
Wild Boar populations throughout Europe will be sampled that differ with
respect to population size and density, connectivity and migration with
other populations, and parasite prevalence. One will try to relate
various classes of immune related genes to individual fitness, estimated
by morphometric and reproductive characteristics and the presence of
parasites. Parasite exposure will be estimated amongst others by
antibody prevalence. Additionally, comparisons will be made with neutral
genetic markers.
Requirements
University Graduate
You have a university Master’s degree with specialization in animal
ecology, genetics or population genetics.
