Researcher in Hybridization and Copy Number Variation

Lund University seeks a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Runemark lab within the SPeciation, Adaptation and Co-Evolution group. The position is part of the VR-funded project 'The role of novel patterns of gene expression in hybrid adaptation,' focusing on how structural variants, particularly copy number variation (CNV), contribute to adaptive variation in hybridization. The researcher will conduct bioinformatic analyses of CNV and genomic predictors, interpret results, and synthesize findings for publication. The role involves collaboration with a team including a lab manager, PhD student, and two postdocs, and may include contributions to teaching in the bioinformatics program. The position is permanent and full-time, starting December 15, 2026, with a focus on early-career research development.
