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.

Role and Salary
This project, funded by the Research Council of Finland, focuses on understanding how pain affects the entire central nervous system (CNS), including the brain and spinal cord, using advanced imaging methods. By developing a novel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique, this project aims to simultaneously capture activity in the brain and spinal cord, providing new insights into how these areas communicate during pain. The study will use zero echo time fMRI, conducted on preclinical model of neuropathic pain and, furthermore, in human studies. We aim to identify patterns of activity and connectivity that serve as biomarkers for pain. The primary task of the Doctoral Researcher is to carry out their doctoral research in accordance with the approved research plan. The goal is to complete the doctoral degree as a full-time student within a maximum of four years.
During the project, you will get familiar with laboratory animal handling, behavioral studies, MRI laboratory work, fMRI experiments, signal processing and image analysis methods. The aim is also to transfer the new MRI methods to clinical scanners and thus there is a possibility to conduct fMRI on humans later on during the project.
As our new doctoral researcher, you will work in the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio campus.
Your main responsibilities will include:
- conducting research in accordance with the aims of the project,
- reporting and creating high-quality scientific publications,

The salary of the position is determined in accordance with the salary system for Finnish universities. The salary comprises two components: a job-related salary element and a personal salary element. In this position, the job-related salary element is EUR 2,281.48/month, based on level 2 of the job requirement level chart for teaching and research staff.
