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.

Funding details

This is a 2.5-year, full-time postdoctoral position from 1 February 2027 to 31 July 2029. The post mentions five weeks of paid holiday, generous parental leave, universal healthcare, flexible working conditions, and an international research environment with advanced computing facilities; no salary or stipend amount is specified.

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, computer science, artificial intelligence/machine learning, or a related field, preferably with a focus on plant genomics or AI in plant science. Documented experience is required in computational genomics, pangenomics, machine learning, or LLM development. Desirable experience includes Oxford Nanopore or other long-read sequencing, LLM training or fine-tuning, high-performance computing and large-scale genomic data, genome assembly, and teaching or supervision.
