PhD Studentship: Genomics of mimicry in Neotropical catfishes University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Evolutionary Genomics of Mimicry in Neotropical Catfishes , hosted by the School of Biological Sciences and supervised by Dr Martin Taylor . This project explores how mimicry evolves in Neotropical Corydoradinae catfishes, using comparative and population genomics to study repeated origins of similar colour patterns across more than 30 mimicry communities in South America. The research asks which genomic regions show divergent selection, whethe...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in chromosome evolution, karyotype evolution, comparative genomics, phylogenomics, genetics, molecular biology, plant biology , and bioinformatics. This project, supervised by Dr A Twyford in the School of Biological Sciences , investigates chromosome number and genome-structure evolution across the Orobanchaceae , a diverse plant family containing both free-living and parasitic species. The research will use newly available chromosome-level genome ...

The Mazo-Vargas laboratory in Duke University’s Department of Biology is seeking a part-time Research Associate to support next-generation sequencing projects focused on Lepidoptera developmental genetics and evolution . The role is centered on sequencing-based research and data workflows. The successful candidate will prepare and evaluate RNA-seq , ATAC-seq , and ChIP-seq libraries, carry out quality control and genomic data analysis, maintain clear experimental and computational records, and c...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Biochemistry with Dr Susanne Bornelöv. This project focuses on gene regulation , bioinformatics , machine learning , artificial intelligence , genomics , and molecular biology . The Bornelöv lab studies transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation, including codon usage, codon optimality-mediated mRNA decay, genome organisation, and evolutionary genomics. The work combines multi-omics data analysis, comparative genomics, r...
