PhD Student in Cell Biology and Epigenetics Institute of Biophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Czech Republic

The Plant Chromatin Organization and Function Group at the Institute of Experimental Botany (IEB), Czechia, is offering a PhD position focused on barley reproductive biology, polyploidy, and seed development. The research aims to unravel the genetic and developmental consequences of ploidy transitions in barley seeds, particularly addressing why new polyploids like barley often exhibit poor seed viability. The project will dissect how ploidy changes affect barley seed formation, with a strong fo...

Postdoctoral position available in the Evolutionary Epigenomics and Genetic Conflicts group led by Antoine Molaro at the Genetic, Reproduction and Development (GReD) Institute / iGReD in France. The project is part of an ERC-funded research program called EvoEpi . The lab is looking for a freshly minted Ph.D. with a strong interest in chromatin , evolution , and related questions in evolutionary epigenomics . The post highlights an inclusive environment and a collaborative research culture. This...

Leiden University’s Faculty of Science is offering a full-time PhD position in the Division of Cell Systems and Drug Safety on Genetic Susceptibility in Stem Cell-Derived Organoid Safety Testing . The project investigates why people respond differently to harmful substances and why some individuals are more sensitive to organ damage. The focus is on human toxicodynamic variability —how cells from different genetic backgrounds respond to chemical stress—and on how this variability can be integrat...

The European Institute of Oncology (IEO) in Milan is recruiting for two research roles in the Paola Scaffidi laboratory: a Postdoctoral Scientist and a Research Scientist . The project focuses on cancer epigenetics , chromatin , genomics , and the epigenetic regulatory network (ERN), with an emphasis on understanding how redundancy and functional interactions among epigenetic regulators maintain robust genome function and how disruption contributes to cancer development. The postdoctoral role is...

PhD student position in the newly established Goradia Lab at the International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines, Polish Academy of Sciences (IMol PAS), Warsaw, Poland. The project is part of the NCN-funded SONATA Bis-15 programme and focuses on a fundamental question in molecular biology: how the transcriptional corepressor CtBP is regulated by RAI2-induced polymerization. The work builds on recent findings from Nature Communications and aims to uncover how higher-order protein ass...
