Postdoctoral Fellow / Senior Postdoctoral Fellow in Human Somatic Genomics and Evolution Wellcome Sanger Institute in United Kingdom

Wellcome Sanger Institute is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow / Senior Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Somatic Genomics Programme in the group led by Raheleh Rahbari. The project sits at the interface of genomics, computation, and evolutionary biology, with a strong emphasis on human somatic evolution and the analysis of large-scale sequencing data.

Research themes include how mutations accumulate across tissues, how environmental and clinical exposures such as chemotherapy shape somatic mutation patterns, and what these processes mean for disease risk and inheritance. The post is well suited to candidates interested in quantitative analysis, computational genomics, and independent research in a collaborative environment.

This is a postdoctoral opening rather than a scholarship. The post explicitly seeks applicants with strong quantitative/computational skills. No funding, stipend, or waiver information is stated in the post excerpt. The application deadline is 6 May 2026.
