Postdoctoral Research Associate in Genetics, Genomics, and Evolutionary Biology at Texas A&M University Texas A&M University in United States

Montana State University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Scholar position in the Department of Ecology, supported by NSF-funded research. The project focuses on inferring complex speciation histories from genomic data , including speciation under alternating cycles of gene flow and isolation. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in biology , evolutionary biology , genomics , bioinformatics , computational biology , and quantitative analysis. The post specifically notes that appl...

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 ...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh , co-supervised by Rob Young and colleagues at the University of Edinburgh and the Zhejiang Institute. The project is titled Host Receptor Evolution as a Barrier to Viral Spillover and sits at the intersection of virology , human genetics , bioinformatics , and molecular biology . This is a good fit for applicants interested in functional, population, and evolutionary genomics, especially those who want to study how host receptor evolution ma...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in plant biology , molecular biology , biochemistry , genetics , bioinformatics , and evolution . This project, supervised by Dr Ben Miller at the School of Biological Sciences , investigates how plants perceive and respond to environmental change through calcium signalling . The research focuses on the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and compares stress-response pathways with flowering plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana . The project aims to und...
