Postdoctoral Researcher in Marine Population Genomics

The Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Gothenburg invites applications for a 36-month postdoctoral position in marine population genomics. The project investigates the ecological and genetic conditions maintaining inversion polymorphisms in two marine snail species, Littorina saxatilis and L. fabalis. The postdoctoral researcher will lead bioinformatic analyses of whole-genome sequencing data to identify recombination rates, deleterious mutations, and selection targets, while contributing to fieldwork, laboratory tasks, and collaborative research outputs. Strong bioinformatic skills in R, Python, and Bash, along with experience in population genomics and large sequencing datasets, are required. Fluency in English is mandatory.
