Job Description
Finnish Food Authority is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join the Risk Assessment Unit. The position focuses on food safety risk assessment combined with benefit assessment.
This postdoc position is part of Postdoctoral Programme for Research Institutes in Finland. The Programme is funded from the Finnish long-term research and development (R&D) plan. The Programme recruits 85 new postdoctoral researchers to 12 Finnish government research institutes between 2025 and 2028. The aim of the Programme is to strengthen R&D competence in areas important to society and business. Postdoctoral researchers will drive impactful, high-level research bridging science, industry, and administration. The Programme supports postdoctoral researcher’s networking and mobility between sectors.
Risk-benefit assessment (RBA) is crucial when decisions affecting food consumption may have simultaneous effects on microbiological and chemical hazards as well as on nutrient intake. Conducting comprehensive risk-benefit assessments requires the continuous development of assessment methods, both internationally and in situations specific to Finland. For example, the guidance document of the European Food Safety Authority on risk-benefit assessment of foods only covers chemical risk-benefit assessments. International research is progressing with many RBA applications, from which Finland can also benefit by participating in the development. The work will build on already published assessments where the Risk Assessment Unit of Finnish Food Authority has been a partner.
The postdoctoral researcher will be developing methods for comparing chemical and microbiological risks using DALY metrics and investigating other alternative metrics and approaches for comparison of different types of health effects occurring at different timescales. Inclusion of zoonotic effects can be a possible addition, depending on the field of the postdoctoral researcher’s doctoral thesis. We anticipate that the work will involve comparing and combining top-down (population attributable fraction to effects) and bottom-up (exposure and dose response) assessments in risk comparisons. The postdoctoral researcher will also be responsible for collecting data and applying methods to selected food groups, hazards, risks, and benefits.
Scientific publishing of the developed methods and the assessment results is an essential part of the duties. The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to co-operate with risk managers (i.e. the users of the project outputs) throughout the project, and to contribute to the application of further research funding.
Salary
Demand level 9 (4111.95 e/month) + up to 50% personal performance-based supplement (typically 14-20% for new employees).

About the job
The Karagic Research group at the Institute of Biotechnology in the University of Helsinki is looking for highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher. The start date of the employment is early 2026 and the employment length is 3 years.
Summary Of The Project
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity—the ability of organisms to modify their traits in response to environmental change—is central to evolutionary biology and conservation. This project combines experimental evolution, single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq), and whole-genome resequencing to resolve the genetic, regulatory, and transcriptional basis of adaptive plasticity and its evolution. The postdoc will take a leading role in, focusing on experimental evolution under novel and variable light environments, integrating multi-omics datasets, and investigating how adaptive plasticity evolves under different selective pressures. For more information, please visit Nidal Karagic’s laboratory web page: https://www.adaptive-plasticity.com
Research Group Descriptions
Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of an organism to change its characteristics with changes in the environment, is an important mechanism by which populations can survive and flourish. Especially in our time, where human-induced environmental changes occur all around the globe, it is important to understand how populations can produce different characters from the same genetic code to deal with these environmental changes. Additionally, our understanding of how this ability evolved is still limited. Karagic’s Research group’s goal is to clarify 1) what are the mechanisms that allow populations to change (i.e., to show plasticity) and 2) how does this ability evolve? A common model for plasticity research, the Trinidadian guppy Poecilia reticulata, offers a great opportunity to resolve these questions, due to their proven ability to show plasticity in many traits.
