Researcher in Hybrid Epigenetics and Gene Expression

Lund University seeks a postdoctoral researcher for an ERC-funded project investigating how hybridization-derived novel gene expression patterns arise through epigenetic modifications. The role involves leading wet lab work (e.g., cut-and-run) and bioinformatic analyses of gene expression, methylation, and chromatin data from Italian sparrow lineages and their parental species. The researcher will synthesize findings for publication, collaborate within a team including a PhD student and postdoc, and contribute to teaching in bioinformatics programs. Applicants must hold a PhD in biology or evolutionary biology with strong bioinformatics and epigenetics skills, including experience with EM-seq, Nextflow pipelines, and nf-core tools.
