About this position

The Barrett lab at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a post-doctoral researcher to work at the intersection of computational genomics, multiomic data analysis, and predictive medicine. The project aims to discover, understand, and measure mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases, with a strong emphasis on moving beyond clinical phenotype to molecular and biological endotypes.

The lab is newly established and sits within a rich research environment spanning the University of Helsinki, the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), and the ELLIS Institute Finland. This gives the researcher access to expertise in genomics, molecular medicine, and applied AI, as well as a collaborative network that includes local and international partners.

Research in the group is built around large-scale biobank resources and multiomic datasets, including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics. The postdoctoral researcher will design and carry out projects that answer important questions in predictive medicine, using computational approaches to propose hypotheses, write code, analyze results, and interpret findings. The role also involves sharing results through publications, conference presentations, open science practices, and open source software.

The lab highlights access to substantial biobank resources, local supercomputing, cloud computing, and newly generated omics data from the Finnish biobank network. The position offers the chance to help shape the intellectual culture of a new laboratory led by Professor Jeffrey Barrett, within a setting that connects biomedical research with modern machine learning and AI methods.

Funding details

Fixed-term postdoctoral position up to three years; salary typically around 3800-4000 EUR per month depending on qualifications and experience.

What's required

A PhD in computational biology, data science, bioinformatics, or a related discipline is expected. Candidates should have a strong publication record, proficiency in Python or R for data analysis, research experience in computational biology and/or data science, and excellent written and spoken English. Preferred but not essential: mentoring experience, high-performance or cloud computing experience, machine learning experience (e.g. PyTorch or TensorFlow), research with healthcare and/or genomics data, software development in small teams with code review and version control, and experience using agentic AI tools while retaining independent thinking.

How to apply

Apply through the University of Helsinki recruitment system by 2026-11-19. Include a one-page cover letter in your own voice, a CV with publications and a GitHub link if applicable, and contact details for two references. For questions about the role or research goals, contact Jeffrey Barrett by email.
