Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Genomics

Description

Offer Description: Activities and context: The Center for Molecular Plant Breeding (CeM²P), a FAPESP/EMBRAPA partnership based at Unicamp, offers a FAPESP Postdoctoral Fellowship in genomics and transcriptomics of tropical forages. The project investigates the genetic and molecular mechanisms of seed decay, involving genomic characterization of the abscission zone, integration of genetic maps, and validation of genes and molecular markers. The objective is to develop tools for marker-assisted selection and contribute to the genetic improvement of tropical forages. Mandatory requirements: PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Plant Biology, Bioinformatics or related areas; advanced knowledge in plant genetics, genomics and transcriptomics, genetic diversity, population genetics and polyploidy; experience in identification and use of molecular markers and bioinformatics; advanced English and immediate availability. Requirements Qualifications: Experience in genetic improvement of forages; genotyping by SSR markers, KASP and validation by RT-qPCR; familiarity with genomic selection, co-expression networks, functional/manual gene annotation. How to apply: Interested parties should send a cover letter, link to the Lattes Curriculum and two letters of recommendation. Virtual interviews may be held. The position is open to Brazilians and foreigners. Duration of 2 years (extendable). This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 12,570.00 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.
