POST-DOC FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS
in Chordate Fuctional Evo-Devo and Genomics
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 forthcoming post-doc
FELLOWSHIP from Spanish and European funding programs (see below).
Candidates 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 metazoan genome size
known so far, 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.
