Postdoctoral researcher, physical oceanography
The Department of Marine Sciences is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in physical oceanography. The position is part of the ERC Starting Grant project SOFIA and focuses on fine-scale ocean dynamics and vertical heat transport in the Southern Ocean. The work involves combining new satellite observations with high-resolution ocean data from gliders, uncrewed surface vehicles and ship-based platforms to understand how heat is transported between the atmosphere and the ocean interior.

Postdoctoral researcher, marine population genomics
The Department of Marine Sciences, is looking for a postdoctoral researcher in marine population genomics, based at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory. The project investigates how genetic and ecological factors maintain chromosomal inversions and contribute to evolutionary adaptation in two closely related marine snail species, Littorina saxatilis and L. fabalis. The work primarily involves bioinformatic analyses of whole-genome sequencing data to study recombination rates, deleterious mutations and natural selection, as well as fieldwork and laboratory work.
