About this position

PhD Student Position at the University of Neuchâtel (UNINE), Switzerland, in the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics with Prof. Daniel Croll.

The project focuses on evolutionary genomics and fungal biology, with research directions including: genomic basis of rapid adaptation to host plants, climate and agrochemicals; tracking transposable element expansion dynamics; causes and consequences of fungal genome plasticity; and recapitulating evolutionary processes using DNA language models / LLMs.

This is a 4-year fully funded PhD with a possible 1-year extension. The post highlights a welcoming and interactive research environment, international collaborations, and a location in Neuchâtel.

Eligibility: an MSc degree in Biology or a related field is required. Strong interest in evolutionary genomics, bioinformatics, and/or fungal biology is expected. Helpful experience includes genome sequencing, pangenomics, epigenomics, or computational biology, especially with interest in fungal pathogens, adaptation, and antifungal resistance.

How to apply: send a single PDF with a motivation letter (max 1 page), CV, transcripts, and 2–3 references to [email protected]. Deadline is 30 November 2026 or until filled. More information is available at pathogen-genomics.org.
