About this position
Aarhus University is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher in computational genomics within the Department of Agroecology’s Crop Genetics and Biotechnology area in Slagelse, Denmark.
The project combines pangenomics, long-read sequencing and large language model (LLM)-based methods to address the complexity of plant genomes. The postdoctoral researcher will develop computational approaches that integrate pangenomic information with LLM methods, supporting advanced analysis of complex crop genomes.
The research includes targeted long-read sequencing and high-resolution gene-space assembly, together with validation of sequencing workflows and assessment of assembly quality. The role offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of plant genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, machine learning and genome assembly.
The researcher will join an international and supportive environment with advanced computing facilities, contribute to teaching, and disseminate findings through publications in high-impact journals. The position is associated with Aarhus University and is announced by Assistant Professor Sandip Kale.
