Uppsala University is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to join its research on fungal genomics, focusing on the evolution of genomes and the genetic basis of adaptation in fungi. The position involves genetic modifications, including CRISPR/Cas9, and high-throughput screenings to investigate the horizontal transfer of large transposable elements (Starships) between fungi. The candidate will also conduct molecular biology experiments using fungal species like Aspergillus fumigatus, engage in bioinformatics tasks, and present findings at international conferences. This is a two-year, full-time position starting January 2025.
