Job description

Professor Tuuli Lappalainen's research group is looking for a postdoctoral researcher for a research project that links regulatory variation to molecular, cellular and organismal phenotypes using a systems genetics approach. The project combines experimental work using CRISPR and single cell approaches with computational analysis. The specific project will be tailored according to the interests and expertise of the postdoc, and potential approaches can include angles from human genetics, gene regulation, cell biology and computational systems biology. Additional projects and collaborations can build on other research projects and data sets in the lab, ongoing collaborative efforts, as well as the postdoc’s own ideas.

The research group works at the international forefront of human functional genomics, aiming to understand how genomic variation contributes to diversity of human traits and diseases. We use both computational and experimental approaches across the disciplines of human genetics, functional genomics and molecular biology. In addition to the team at KTH, located at the SciLifeLab campus, Dr. Lappalainen also has an active research lab at the New York Genome Center, with close interactions between the teams.
