Dear colleagues,
Up to 10 fellowships are offered to enroll in the Biosciences Master
Program in Lyon from September 2015.
This program provides a high-level training for research by immersion in
research (lab rotations, research-based courses, international lectures…)
and covers broadly biological sciences. It is run by Ecole Normale
Supérieure de Lyon, essentially a graduate school, and by Université Claude
Bernard Lyon 1, the largest science university in Lyon, and is hallmarked
by the University of Lyon.
The campus is located within the city of Lyon and offers many
opportunities, including student housing, language courses, sports… etc.
Lectures are in French during the first year and in English during the
second year.
For more information.

POST-DOC FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS
in Chordate Fuctional Evo-Devo and Genomics
University of Barcelona, Department of Genetics
Our group on the field of Functional Evo-Devo and Genomics on
Chordates is looking for candidates to apply for the recently open
calls for intra-European (IEF) and international incoming (IEF) Marie-
Curie and EMBO post-doc Fellowships.
Candidates need to have a highly 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 at the population level. 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 an email to Cristian Cañestro (canestro(a)ub.edu
), including a brief letter of interest and a CV in ONE single pdf file.
