PhD project: Study of CEtaceans in their Natural Environment (SCENE) This three-year doctoral project will investigate dolphins, other cetaceans and dugongs in the waters of the United Arab Emirates and the Arabian Gulf. The research aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of marine mammal distribution, ecology and populations in Emirati waters. The doctoral researcher will combine field-based marine biology with molecular and acoustic approaches. Activities include drone surveys at sea, a...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences on Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress . This project investigates how environmental stress responses may be transmitted across generations through non-genetic / epigenetic inheritance . Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system, the research will examine whether key cellular stress responses can be inherited, whether this improves survival and fitness under stress...

Postdoctoral Scholar opportunity in the Tarvin Lab at the University of California, Berkeley, in the Department of Integrative Biology and the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology. The project focuses on the genetic and physiological basis of kleptocnidy in nudibranch mollusks, with emphasis on how these animals steal and store nematocysts and whether this process evolved through specialization of phagocytosis. The work combines genomics, RNA-sequencing, molecular biology, physiology, pharmacological in...
