PhD position on evolution of non-embryonic developmental strategies in urochordates
Posted by Stefano Tiozzo, on 17 May 2016
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
A three years Ph.D. position is available at the Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche-sur-Mer -LBDV (UPMC – Sorbonne Universités).
We are seeking a highly motivated student to join an international project, DEVODIVERSITY, funded by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherché (ANR) and the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
By using molecular and cell biology, NGS transcriptomic, genomic, and ecological approaches, a multidisciplinary consortium led by two teams, the Tiozzo Lab at the Villefranche-sur-Mer Developmental Biology Laboratory in France (CNRS-UPMC) and the Brown Lab at the Istituto de Biociências in Brazil (USP), will study the evolution of regeneration, asexual reproduction, and clonality in several species of ascidians (Urochordata), and examine how ecological factors affect distribution ranges, evolution of life cycles and developmental strategies.
The Ph.D. will be mainly based at the LBDV (Villefranche sur Mer, France) with the possibility to spend few months at the USP (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
The applicant should contact directly Stefano Tiozzo (tiozzo@obs-vlfr.fr) providing a letter of interest, a CV and the contact of three potential referees.
Start date will be October 2016.
For more details about the project please contact Stefano Tiozzo.
