Research Group
The Heintzman Group is based on the Centre for Palaeogenetics and Department of Geological Sciences at Stockholm University, Sweden.
The Research Group focuses on the ecology and evolutionary history of populations, species, and communities reconstructed with ancient DNA from bones and sediments.
Current opportunities: Two postdoc positions will be announced in early 2024.
