The research group in “Plant Evolutionary Genomics”, led by Prof. Lorenzo Carretero-Paulet at the University of Almería (UAL), Spain, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for a two-year full-time position starting in January 2025 to work on a research project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (OrphanEvolGen). OrphanEvolGen aims at generating high-quality reference chromosome-scale genome sequences of selected orphan crop tree species plus their wild close relatives, as well as to resequence the whole genomes of a set of varieties and accessions. Through in-depth evolutionary and population genomics analyses of the genomics data generated we expect to i) identify varieties best suited for their (re)introduction in arid and semi-arid regions; and ii) unravel the adaptive genomic landscape of salient evolutionary innovations and agronomically desirable traits, which ultimately is critical for the development of elite varieties b
 etter adapted to local and changing environmental conditions.
All applicants are required to have a PhD in Biology, Bioinformatics, Data Science or related disciplines. The ideal candidate should have scientific training in analysis of large genomic datasets (e.g., Illumina short reads, Oxford nanopore long reads), genome structural annotation, and / or population genomics, as well as basic molecular wet lab experience (e.g. DNA isolation, PCR, gel electrophoresis), familiarity with Linux command line / bash scripting, proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g. Python, R, PERL) and excellent communication skills in English, both verbally and written, as demonstrated by scientific communications in meetings and conferences or peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts. The Postdoc is expected to work collaboratively as part of an international and multidisciplinary team of researchers, be able to think creatively and have excellent organizational skills.
The successful applicant will be encouraged to participate in additional collaborative research projects and to develop his/her own research program aligned with the research interests of our lab. The postdoc researcher will also have the chance to contribute to teaching in Genomics or related subjects in the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees of Biotechnology at UAL, as well as to (co)-direct and -supervise the final research project of graduate and undergraduate students. Gross salary is ~35k/year and includes full benefits.
Our lab is located at the University of Almería (UAL), one of the youngest and most dynamic public universities in Spain. The UAL campus is located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea just a few kilometers away from the city center of Almería. The city of Almería is the capital of

the Andalusian province with the same name, founded in the 10th century during the Islamic era, and home to important historical remains from that period, notably the Alcazaba fortress. Located in the southeastern Iberian Peninsula, it is a very affordable, yet underrated, medium sized city with high standards of quality of life and a privileged climate. Indeed, the province of Almería is considered one of the most arid regions of the entire European continent, and one receiving the most days of sunshine and wind per year in Europe. Almería’s province offers a beautiful and picturesque scenery for practicing any kind of outdoor activities all year around. Furthermore, Almería is home to a unique and rich diversity of species and ecosystems, extending from the Sierra Nevada mountain range to the picturesque Cabo de Gata natural park, one the few sub- desertic areas and coastal zones integrally protected in Europe. The dominant economic sector in Almería is based on intensive agr
 iculture specialized in vegetable cultivation year-round in greenhouses, around which a vibrant biotech industry has developed.
