A position as senior research engineer in Leif Andersson's research
group at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology, Uppsala
University (https://www.scilifelab.se/researchers/leif-andersson/). We
are looking for someone with a passionate interest in evolutionary
biology and with a strong competence in functional genomics who wants
to participate in a research project where we use molecular biological
methods to elucidate molecular mechanisms important for the adaptation
of wild species to their environment. Our flagship project concerns the
hundreds of genes we have identified as  important for genetic adaptation
in Atlantic and Baltic herring. We also conduct research on a wide
range of other species, such as the Darwin's finches on the Galapagos
Islands. The work involves performing various molecular genetics and
biochemical analyses.

Qualification Requirements. PhD in molecular genetics or
equivalent. Extensive experience in molecular genetic work, particularly
expression analysis, DNA sequencing, protein chemistry, single-cell
sequencing, transfection experiments, and/or chromatin analysis. As the
candidate will be involved in several large-scale projects with many
samples, excellent analytical and organizational skills, flexibility, and
the ability to handle potentially stressful situations are required. The
candidate is expected to work independently, take their own initiatives,
but also collaborate with other members of the group as well as national
and international partners. Excellent oral and written skills in English
are required. Great emphasis is placed on personal qualities such as
good communication, collaboration, and organizational skills, as well
as the ability to solve problems independently.

About the employment. The employment is a permanent position (probationary
period may be applied). Scope of employment 100%. Starting date as
agreed. Placement: Uppsala
