[The Department of Biological and Environmental Science](https://www.jyu.fi/bioenv/en) is seeking to recruit a doctoral researcher in evolutionary genetics to start in early January, 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter, on a fixed-term contract for a maximum of three years. The genetics, epigenetics, and evolution group lead by Ilkka Kronholm studies the properties of mutations and spontaneous epigenetic changes, and genetic architecture of complex traits. Our fundamental interest is in the properties of mutations, and how do they interact. Our research questions are focused on understanding how different intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect evolutionary adaptation. As model systems we use fission yeast and the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. We are currently working on a large experimental evolution study using fission yeast, with two postdocs and one other PhD researcher working on different questions. The larger project that this particular project is part of is funded by the ERC. The idea with this project is that we will be exploring how do different mutations that have arisen during adaptation affect different life-history and physiological traits, and how those changes affect fitness: so investigating the genotype – phenotype – fitness map and possible effects of epistatic interactions. Our system allows very detailed investigation of relationship between genotype and phenotype, since genetic variation is limited and we can leverage the full power of fission yeast genetics. However, in this project the candidate also has some freedom, so that exact questions can also be tailored to the candidates interests within the overall framework of the project. The doctoral researcher is expected to contribute to the current project, plan and perform research, write manuscripts and finally a PhD thesis. Participating in limited amount of teaching can also be arranged.
