Reminder:
Marie Curie POST-DOC fellowship application (IIF and IEF Calls now
opened)
University of Barcelona, Department of Genetics
Our new group on the field of Functional Evo-Devo and Genomics on
Chordates is looking for candidates to apply for the FP7 POST-DOC
FELLOWSHIP from the Marie Curie program
http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/people&state=open
Candidates have to be enthusiastic, and need to have a competitive CV
to successfully apply for the fellowship. Experience in Molecular
Genetics, Transgenesis and Developmental Biology, and (or) Background
in Bioinformatics, and Comparative Genomics will be positively
considered.
Our main research interest is to understand the impact of gene losses
on the evolutionary diversification of mechanisms of development in
chordates. Our work focuses on comparative approaches between
vertebrates (zebrafish), urochordates and cephalochordates. Our main
subject of study is Oikopleura dioica, a new emergent urochordate
model within our own phylum, with the smallest genome size known so
far in all metazoans, and with an outstanding amount of gene losses
(Denoeud et al., Science, 2010).
Interested candidates, please send a brief letter of interest and a CV
in ONE single pdf file to Cristian Cañestro (canestro(a)ub.edu)
Interested candidates for future POST- or PRE-DOCTORAL applications,
please feel free to contact too.
