About this position
Uppsala University is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD position in Circadian Epigenomics within the Department of Organismal Biology (EpiTox group). The research focuses on understanding how DNA methylation patterns shift across the circadian cycle, combining wet-lab molecular biology (mammalian cell culture, CRISPR tagging, DNA/RNA extraction) with bioinformatics analyses (R/Python, DNA methylation, RNA-seq). The project is embedded in a VR-funded initiative and involves collaboration with the University of Cologne, where Dr. Philipp Antczak will co-supervise bioinformatics aspects.
The EpiTox group investigates epigenetic mechanisms in neurodevelopmental effects of environmental chemicals and circadian regulation. The research environment is international, vibrant, and supportive, offering opportunities to engage in scientific and social activities at the group, program, and departmental levels. The successful candidate will plan, perform, analyze, and interpret experiments, communicate research findings, and may advise master and bachelor students.
Applicants must have a Master’s degree in molecular biology, cell biology, or a related field, or equivalent higher education. Required skills include experience with molecular biology methods and strong English communication abilities. Additional assets are experience with mammalian cell culture, CRISPR/Cas9, and bioinformatics (especially DNA methylation and RNA-seq). Background knowledge in epigenetics or circadian regulation is a plus. The position values motivation, creativity, analytical thinking, independence, and teamwork.
The PhD position is a full-time, salaried employment under the Swedish model, with favorable working conditions and no tuition fees. The application deadline is January 30, 2026. For more information, contact Professor Joëlle Rüegg ([email protected]). Apply through Uppsala University's recruitment system using the provided link.
