PhD position: To work on tomato evolution
We are looking for a PhD student to perform a thesis on the evolution of circadian rhythms in tomato.
Our lab has identified the two factors that delayed circadian rhythms during tomato domestication (See publications page). We have generated isogenic lines that have restored the ancestral rhythms in cultivated tomato. The selected candidate will be in charge of characterizing the molecular and physological differences between these lines.
The candidate will be using a number of techniques relevant to our research such as plant genetics, bioinformatics, high throughput phenotyping, image analysis and molecular biology.
Interested applicants should send a CV, a cover letter, and as many reference letters as possible here
Master position: Bioinformatics and evolution
We are looking for motivated students to perform next generation sequencing data analysis to study tomato evolution.
The wealth on genomics datasets for tomato and its wild relatives have opened the opportunity for the first time to solve a series of questions on the evolution of this important species (Lin et al 2014, Aflitos et al. 2014, Tieman et al. 2017 and Zhu et al. 2018).
In the lab we count with expertise and tools to perform bioinformatics and data analysis. If you are interested in manipulating massive datasets to answer evolutionary questions and have experience in (or want to learn) computer programming and data analysis, please contact us. Send a CV, a cover letter, and as many reference letters as possible here
Master position: Tomato Genetics
We are looking for motivated students to work in tomato genetics and evolution.
Our recent discoveries have opened a number of Master projects on the evolution of circadian rhythms and flowering time in tomato. See Soyk et al. 2017 and Müller et al. 2016 in our publications page.
The proposed projects involve techniques that go from plant phenotyping to in vitro culture and transformation.
Interested applicants should send a CV, a cover letter, and as many reference letters as possible here
Master position: Software developer with skills in object-oriented programming
We are looking for an experienced bioinformatician / developer with skills in object-oriented programming.
One of the main techniques used in our lab is next generation sequencing datasets (DNA and RNAseq). We have developed a number of pipelines that use this type of data for tasks that would be of interest to most biology labs, including those with little experience in bioinformatics.
The selected candidate will be in charge of developing software that will be released to the public together with a scientific publication. She/He will be provided with a working version of this software written in Perl. This version needs to be optimized and translated into a package for general use.
This job will give the candidate experience with next generation sequencing data and an opportunity to see how data analysis feeds into a wet-biology lab. The candidate will have to interact with all members of the lab and assist to all lab meetings as well as scientific seminars in the institute.
Review of applications will begin immediately, and will remain open until the position is filled.
Interested applicants should send a CV, a cover letter, and as many reference letters as possible here
