hela Sverige Department of Animal Nutrition and Management
The Department of Animal Nutrition and Management (HUV) conducts both basic and applied research from a systems perspective, with the environment and animal welfare in focus. We work with both more general issues regarding future feed and animal care, as well as more fundamental issues such as the animal's nutritional physiology, intestinal function, and metabolism. The goal is to create ethical, economical, and sustainable production for society with good animal welfare that guarantees food of the highest quality. Our research concerns farm production animals, farmed fish and crustaceans, and sports and companion animals. HUV is responsible for undergraduate, research, and postgraduate education in the subject areas of nutritional physiology, feed science, management issues, and aquaculture. HUV offers an inspiring research environment where we conduct research and teaching in collaboration with a number of different departments within SLU and with other Swedish, and foreign universities.
The Aquaculture Research Group at HUV carries out high-quality basic and applied research on various aspects of nutrition, health, and host-microbiota interactions in farmed aquatic animals. Some of the cutting-edge research projects were conducted in the framework of collaboration with research institutes and private industries in Europe, Asia, and Africa. One of the major focuses of the group lies in studying the functional responses of the brine shrimp Artemia at the genomics, proteomics, and epigenomics levels in response to environmental cues. To address these research questions, state-of-the-art analytical toolboxes for genomics, proteomics, and epigenomics assays amongst others are being used.

Position Summary:
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to join our team as a Researcher in Artemia Genomics and Bioinformatics. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in conducting cutting-edge research and data analysis related to Artemia using genomic and bioinformatics tools. The major task of the candidate is to conduct mining of Artemia genes associated with stress and immunity and also to develop OMICS toolbox for positioning Artemia as a model organism for biological research. The position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the understanding of Artemia biology and its applications in the aquaculture field. The candidate is also expected to take the main responsibility for report writing and for scientific publication.
Duties:
The selected candidate is expected to:
• Conduct comprehensive genomic analysis of Artemia species, that includes genome sequencing, assembly, annotation, and comparative genomics.
• Utilize advanced bioinformatics tools and algorithms to analyze genomic data, identify genetic variations, perform gene expression profiling, and predict functional elements in Artemia.
• Collect, curate, and integrate diverse biological datasets to enhance the understanding of Artemia genetics and genomics. Employ statistical methods to analyze large-scale datasets and derive meaningful biological insights.
• Design and implement research projects aimed at elucidating specific aspects of Artemia genomics and biology.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including molecular biologists, geneticists, and computational biologists, to integrate experimental and computational approaches in Artemia research.
• Prepare research findings for publication in peer-reviewed journals and present results at scientific conferences and meetings.
Qualifications:
Interested and eligible candidates must have PhD degree in applied biological sciences, preferably with a focus on Artemia genomics and bioinformatics. Candidates with a strong background in biology and experience in genomics or bioinformatics in farmed crustaceans will also be considered. Demonstrated experience in genomic data analysis, bioinformatics, and next-generation sequencing technologies. Experience with Artemia or other crustacean species is a strong prerequisite. The candidate should be fluent in spoken and written English and have experience in effectively communicating research findings within and outside of academia. Previous peer-reviewed scientific publications especially on Artemia biology are highly desirable.
