PhD Position in ecDNA, Gene Amplification, and Genome Instability at National Institute of Genetics

Mariko Sasaki at the National Institute of Genetics, Japan is advertising a 5-year PhD position starting in October 2027 in the Sasaki Laboratory. The project focuses on ecDNA , gene amplification , chromosomal amplification , and genome instability . The lab studies the mechanisms and consequences of genome instability and gene copy number changes, with a current emphasis on chromosomal and ecDNA-mediated gene amplification. This opportunity is aimed at highly motivated international students with a strong research background and interest in challenging projects. The post says full details are in an attached PDF and that applications must be submitted to the email address listed there. Deadline: applications are accepted until August 14 , with rolling review and interviews .
