Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the research group of prof. Martin Lysak to join project investigating the structure and evolution of Biscutella genomes (Brassicaceae). The project aims to establish high-quality chromosome-scale sequence assemblies of several genomes and analyze the process of post-polyploid diploidization and chromosomal rearrangements. This is a three-year collaborative project between the Lysak group and group of prof. Christian Parisod (University Bern).
Requirements:
Candidates for this position must have PhD degree in biology and strong theoretical and practical background in comparative genomics and bioinformatics (experience with chromosome-scale genome assembly including long-range scaffolding is welcome). We are looking for highly motivated researcher able to work independently yet open to frequent interactions with other members of our Czech-Swiss multi-disciplinary team.
Please send the application (including CV, motivation letter and the contact information of at least three references) by e-mail to martin.lysak@ceitec.muni.cz.
Like I said on the other post, please add the institute name and location (city, state/province and country) to the title.
