Postdoctoral Researcher in Integrative Evolutionary Cell Biology (ERC Project IntEvoCell)

The research group of Assoc. Prof. Claudius Kratochwil at the www.intevobio.fi invites applications for two Postdoctoral Researcher positions in integrative evolutionary cell biology. Our ERC-funded project uses pigment cells in tropical cichlid fishes as a powerful model to uncover how complex cellular phenotypes and developmental programs evolve. We integrate single-cell sequencing with high-throughput cell phenotyping and comparative evo-devo across species and developmental stages to link molecular cell states to quantitative phenotypes and evolutionary change.

We are building an integrative framework that links (i) high-dimensional single-cell molecular profiles to (ii) quantitative cellular phenotypes and (iii) evolutionary and developmental variation. The project already includes existing datasets and established pipelines, and the successful candidates will contribute both by analyzing and extending these resources and by developing new data and approaches where needed. You will join an international, collaborative team with access to excellent core facilities and computational infrastructure in Helsinki.
