PhD in Epialleles, Epigenetics, and Heritable Variation in Plants Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in Netherlands

PhD position at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in Wageningen, the Netherlands, on epialleles, epigenetics, DNA methylation, gene expression, and heritable variation in plants . This genomics-focused project asks how important epigenetic variation is for rapid adaptation in wild plant populations. The work uses an apomictic dandelion lineage as a model system to disentangle genetic and epigenetic effects. You will study a panel of accessions from a geographically widespread line...

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is recruiting a postdoc for an HFSP-funded project on socially transferred materials (STMs) in the Faculty of Science , Amsterdam, Netherlands. The project studies how animals transfer materials between bodies that influence receiver physiology, fertility, or behaviour, with examples such as milk, seminal fluid, eggs, mucus, and regurgitates. The research combines mass spectrometry imaging , omics approaches, in-situ hybridisation , bioinformatics, and functional ass...
