PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Genetics in Poland

The postdoc is based in the Division of Molecular Neurobiology at Karolinska Institutet in the lab of Professor Jens Hjerling-Leffler . The project focuses on how adolescent development of the nervous system, at a cell type-specific level, may shape the etiology of psychiatric disorders. The team combines postmortem human samples, mouse models of genetic risk, transcriptomic data, and large-scale human genetics to understand biological convergence and the cellular consequences of polygenic herit...

The Barrett lab at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher to work on computational genomics for predictive medicine . The project sits at the intersection of genomics, multiomic data analysis, and machine learning, with a scientific goal of identifying mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases. Rather than focusing only on observed clinical phenotypes, the lab aims to characterize diseases through molecular and biological endotypes that can better supp...

The Saito laboratory at the University of Southern California is recruiting a Research Associate to contribute to studies of innate immunity against human pathogenic viruses and bacteria in the setting of liver diseases. The project sits at the intersection of cell biology, virology, genetics, molecular biology, and systems biology, with an emphasis on pathogen-host interactions, inflammation, and immune responses linked to liver disease. The successful researcher will help identify research que...

Carnegie Mellon University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to join its applied nanotechnology lab in Pittsburgh. The role centers on the development and execution of research projects on multivalent DNA origami nanosensors , combining experimental nanotechnology, molecular design, and quantitative analysis in a multidisciplinary research setting. The successful candidate will work on lab activities related to cloning and/or synthesis of nucleic...

This postdoctoral project focuses on small RNA-mediated gene silencing in a plant-pathogen interaction system. The researcher will investigate how plant-derived small RNAs can be internalized by Pseudomonas syringae during infection and how this process contributes to the repression of gene expression in the bacterium. The work combines proteomics , genetics , and biochemistry to identify Arabidopsis factors taken up by the pathogen, prioritize the most represented RNA-binding proteins inside ba...

The Laboratory of Elisa Oricchio at the Swiss Institute of Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC), EPFL , is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join research on how cancer-associated genomic alterations shape tumor initiation, progression, and therapy response. The project centers on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive tumor evolution by integrating genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. The lab studies how functional consequences of cancer-associated genomic alterations ...

Post-doc position on Multi-omics in Hereditary Fibrinogen Disorders: Bridging the Genotype-Phenotype Gap This postdoctoral project sits within the Fibromics consortium at Sanquin Research in Amsterdam and focuses on hereditary fibrinogen disorders, which are clinically challenging because bleeding and thrombosis risk can be unpredictable. The aim is to bridge the genotype-phenotype gap by identifying phenotype-specific molecular signatures linked to congenital fibrinogen disorders. The project c...

The FBI Counterterrorism and Forensic Science Research Unit (CFSRU) Visiting Scientist Program offers recent graduates the chance to join an immersive STEM research environment at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. Participants work alongside CFSRU scientists on research that supports forensic science and evidence collection for law enforcement and national security. The research portfolio spans molecular biology, genetics, analytical chemistry, geology, geophysics, statistics, and physic...

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) offers a master's fellowship in the Dias & Frazer Lab focused on probabilistic machine learning and genomics. The project, “Folding versus function: disentangling the molecular mechanisms of missense variants in gene-trait associations,” examines how genetic variants alter protein stability and biological function. The student will integrate protein language models with protein-folding energetics to distinguish mutations that destabilize proteins from thos...
