Postdoc position in spatial genomics of aquatic invertebrates (3 years)

Leading a cross‑disciplinary project funded by FOEN/BAFU, the successful applicant will serve as the principal investigator for the OneBioNet‑G initiative, focusing on genomic diversity of key invertebrate species in Swiss water bodies.

The role is based at Eawag in Duebendorf, Switzerland, and will run for three years from fall 2026.

Project Overview:

The project aims to generate draft genomes for 3–5 EPT (may‑fly, stonefly, caddisfly) species and 2–3 amphipod species, assemble population‑level whole‑genome or ddRAD sequencing data for ~2,000 individuals, and conduct spatially explicit analyses of genetic diversity, connectivity, and adaptive variation. Results will inform a national genetic diversity monitoring programme and provide baseline data for future climate and land‑use change studies.

• Establish draft genomes for selected EPT and amphip...
