King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has an open postdoctoral research position in genomics with Professor Mark Tester. The project focuses on analyzing large genome resequencing datasets to quantify non-homoeologous recombinations in synthetic allotetraploids, especially in the Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae . The research also aims to identify the molecular and/or genomic basis for differences in recombination rates between different lines. This opportunity is best suited t...
