About this position

Three postdoctoral researcher positions are open at the University of Helsinki in salmonid fish ecological and evolutionary genomics. The projects focus on:

- effects of management and ecosystem-related changes on salmon life-history phenotypes and genotypes

- assessing sex-specific natural selection effects at key life-history loci due to anthropogenic and environmental factors

- pink salmon genetics and the genetic basis of successful invasion

This is a strong fit for researchers with interests in biology, genomics, evolutionary genetics, environmental science, and quantitative analysis of fish populations. The post is announced by Craig Primmer, Professor of Genomics and Dean of the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Helsinki.

The announcement indicates that the positions are funded, but it does not provide a stipend amount or other financial specifics in the excerpt. The application deadline is 7.8., interpreted as 2026-08-07.
