Postdoc in population genomics and bioinformatics on language evolution - Zurich, Schweiz - University of Zurich
Beschreibung
Your responsibilitiesThe similarity of the genetic and linguistic evolution was pointed out by Charles Darwin.
In the first phase of the NCCR, we found that both match and mismatch are common world-wide using the database of genomic and linguistic data GeLaTo (GEnes and LAnguage TOgether).
as well as local case studies:
, . In the second phase, we plan to strengthen population genetic analysis including demographic analysis and genome-wide association studies to study the evolution of languages. This project is a part of the "Population History" Task in the Work Package Stationarity of the NCCR which includes ( of this position), Prof. Balthasar Bickel (Department of Comparative Language Science), Prof. Andrea Migliano (Department of Evolutionary Anthropology), Prof. Chiara Barbieri (Univ. Cagliari) and a planned new professor in genetics of language. We expect further collaboration within and beyond the NCCR. Furthermore, we plan to analyze genomes of crop plants to examine the farming/language dispersal hypothesis stating that many language families dispersed along with farmers and crop species.
Your profile
PhD degree in biology using genome-wide polymorphism analysis to infer demography, selection or genome-wide association studies. Experience in linguistic data or machine learning will be an asset. Experience either in human or plant data is not essential but the motivation to study them is important.
