Do you want an employer that invests in sustainable employee relationships and offers secure, attractive working conditions? We welcome you to apply for a postdoctoral position at Uppsala University. The Department of Earth Sciences is Sweden's most comprehensive academic environment for research and education in geoscience. Here you will find broad expertise that contributes to solutions for important societal challenges. Earth is a dynamic planet that is constantly changing. To understand how our planet works, our researchers seek answers in the field, through laboratory experiments, and advanced models. Our research and education cover a wide range of areas: rocks and minerals, weather and climate, the evolution of life, natural disasters, wind energy and energy, environmental and water engineering, and sustainable development. Our research combines natural sciences and engineering with social sciences and is often interdisciplinary. The department employs over 300 people from more than 30 countries, both in Uppsala and at Campus Gotland.

The degree must be completed by the time the employment decision is made. Preference should be given to candidates who completed their degree no more than three years ago. In calculating the three-year period, the final application deadline is the starting point. If there are special reasons, such a degree may have been completed earlier. Special reasons include leave due to illness, parental leave, positions of trust within labor organizations, etc. Previous experience with numerical modeling and analysis of the cryosphere, preferably glaciers, is a requirement. The candidate must be able to communicate in spoken and written English at an advanced level, work independently, and work in an international team of researchers with different disciplinary backgrounds. Desirable/Meriting Qualifications Programming skills in Python or similar are valued. Additionally, experience with machine learning and spatial analysis software (e.g., ArcGIS) is meriting.

Postdoctoral Position in Plant Evolutionary Genomics and Pangenomics
Postdoctoral Position in Plant Evolutionary Genomics and Pangenomics Department of Plant Biology About the Position A postdoctoral position in plant evolutionary genomics is available in the Yant Lab at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, Sweden. The Yant Lab develops computational and genomic approaches to understand evolution, adaptation, genome dynamics, and whole-genome duplication across diverse plant systems (see https://www.yantlab.net/). The project is funded through a Formas grant aimed at restoring European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) populations threatened by ash dieback. The successful candidate will contribute to developing the first Swedish-focused European ash pangenome, integrating long-read genome assemblies with population-scale sequencing to understand disease resistance and local adaptation across Europe. The project combines large-scale population genomics, graph-based pangenomics, structural variant discovery, genome-wide association studies, and evolutionary genomics using state-of-the-art long-read sequencing and computational genomic approaches. The successful candidate will work closely with collaborators at other SLU campuses, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and other European partners, contributing to both methodological developments and biological discovery. The project offers an opportunity to work at the forefront of plant evolutionary genomics while contributing directly to forest restoration and conservation. Your Profile We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD in botany, evolutionary biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, plant biology, or a related subject deemed equivalent by the employer. The applicant should have a strong publication record relative to career stage and demonstrated ability to conduct independent research. The ideal candidate will have experience in all of the following areas: - Large-scale population genomics, demographic inference, and evolutionary genomics - Graph-based pangenomics and structural variant analysis, ideally in plants - Genotype-environment association (GEA/EAA) or GWAS - Programming in Python, with extensive experience working in Linux and multiple HPC environments - Population genomics across environmental gradients, including demographic inference and genotype–environment association analyses Experience with long-read sequencing, structural variant analysis, graph-based genome analysis, and plant genomics is considered an advantage but is not required.
