About this position

The Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Gothenburg is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in Marine Population Genomics. This 3-year, full-time position is based at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory in Sweden and focuses on the population genomics of Fucus vesiculosus, a foundational brown seaweed species in the Baltic Sea ecosystem. The research aims to investigate a unique, massive asexual clone of this species, which spans over 500 km of coastline, to understand how somatic mutations contribute to adaptation across environmental gradients such as salinity and temperature.

The successful candidate will engage in both field and laboratory work, including DNA extraction and quality control, and will be primarily responsible for the bioinformatic analysis of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. Key tasks include identifying non-synonymous mutations, analyzing genomic variation, and publishing research findings. The role also involves contributing to the supervision of students and participating in departmental seminars and activities.

Applicants must have a doctoral degree (or equivalent) completed within the last three years (exceptions for special circumstances), with strong experience in DNA extraction, bioinformatics, and population genomics. Proficiency in processing and analyzing DNA sequence data and fluency in English are required. Experience with WGS data and seaweed genomics is considered a merit. The position values both independent and collaborative work, as well as strong communication skills and personal suitability.

The University of Gothenburg offers a dynamic research environment with advanced infrastructure and a commitment to addressing global ocean challenges. The Department of Marine Sciences is recognized for its comprehensive approach to marine research and education. The position is fully funded for 36 months, with individual salary determination. The application deadline is March 16, 2026. For more information, visit the department’s website or contact Professor Kerstin Johannesson.

To apply, candidates must submit their application through the University’s recruitment portal, including a personal letter, CV, list of publications, statement of relevant skills, and degree certificates. The application can be written in Swedish or English. For further details, see the official job posting and contact information provided.

Funding details

The position is a fixed-term, full-time (100%) postdoctoral appointment for 36 months at the University of Gothenburg. Salaries are set individually at the University. No specific stipend amount or tuition coverage is mentioned.

What's required

Applicants must hold a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree, completed no more than three years prior to the end of the application period (exceptions for special grounds such as illness or parental leave). Required qualifications include prior laboratory experience in DNA extraction, excellent proficiency in processing and analysing DNA sequence data, and fluency in spoken and written English. Previous experience in bioinformatics with a focus on population genomics is required. Experience in analysing WGS data and seaweed genomics is considered a merit. The ability to work both independently and collaboratively, as well as strong communication and teamwork skills, are essential. Personal suitability will be highly valued.
