UiT The Arctic University of Norway has established «The Arctic MSCA-PF program» (uit.no/arcticmsca) to recruit excellent young researchers planning to apply for a Marie Skƚodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) to pursue a career in research. We invite applications from promising young researchers within the field of Fish Genetics. The selected candidate will write a proposal for a 24-month MSCA-PF at UiT together with Ass. Prof. Kenyon Mobley. This is an opportunity to accelerate your research career while living in the urban research city of Tromsø/Narvik.

This call is one of 33 from pre-selected supervisors at UiT The Arctic University of Norway through the “Arctic MSCA-PF program”. Successful postdoc candidates will be invited for a two-day MSCA-PF symposium June 10-11, 2026 (hybrid physical/digital event, see details at uit.no/project/arcticmsca/program-structure). At this event, the candidates will present their past research achievements, discuss future plans with their potential supervisor and learn how to write a successful MSCA-PF application. The selected candidates will, jointly with the supervisor, write the MSCA-PF application by the deadline of September 9, 2026.

In this call we search for talented, young researchers within the field of Fish Genetics as presented by Ass. Prof Mobley:

My research covers a broad spectrum of topics in evolutionary biology and ecology with the goal to understand the complex relationship between behavior, ecology, and the genetic architecture of organisms.

Currently, my main research focus is fish maturation and reproduction, particularly Atlantic salmon. My interests also include local adaptation and ecological speciation, population genetics, sexual selection and sexual conflict, the evolution of female ornaments, parental care and alternative mating tactics, parasites, and the effect of anthropogenic stressors on reproduction.

Please send your CV (max 3 pages) and describe a research project that will strengthen and complement the presented research (max 2 pages) to kenyon.b.mobley@uit.no by Feb 16th 2026. Mark your application "Arctic MSCA". Successful candidates will be contacted in late March 2026.
