Postdoctoral Fellowship in Plant Genomics, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at CPA Citros
Postdoctoral fellowship opportunity in
Plant Genomics, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
at
CPA Citros
, supported by
FAPESP
.
The project focuses on
bioinformatics applied to the citrus–Liberibacter interaction
associated with
Huanglongbing (HLB/greening)
. Research activities include
genome assembly
of citrus species,
multi-omics data integration
, and complementary analyses of
gene families
,
transposons
,
small RNAs
, and
microbiomes
.
The fellowship is linked to work at
University of São Paulo (ESALQ-USP)
and
São Paulo State University (UNESP)
, with activities conducted at UNESP’s computational center. The post is supervised by
Luis Eduardo Aranha Camargo
and
Alessandro Varani
.
Funding:
FAPESP postdoctoral scholarship with a stipend of
R$ 12,570.00
. One position is available.
Eligibility highlights:
PhD obtained within the last 7 years in Genetics, Genomics, Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Biological Sciences, Agronomy, or related fields; proven bioinformatics experience with genome and/or transcriptome analysis; familiarity with Linux, command line, and computational pipelines; and experience in areas such as genome assembly, gene annotation, TE annotation, comparative genomics, RNA-seq, phylogenomics, gene family analysis, or functional analyses.
Preferred profile:
ability to document analyses, prepare technical reports, contribute to English scientific writing, and use R, Python, Perl, Bash, or similar languages. Prior experience with plant genomes, PacBio HiFi, Oxford Nanopore, Hi-C, pangenomes, or plant genome evolution is a plus.
Application deadline:
2026-07-15. Applicants should email the requested documents to
