We are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the GENREP project – “The impact of repetitive sequences on the molecular evolution and architecture of bivalve genomes” at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb, Croatia. Project information: https://www.irb.hr/eng/Divisions/Division-of-Molecular-Biology/Laboratory-for-Molecular-Genetics/Projects/GENREP-The-impact-of-repetitive-sequences-on-the-molecular-evolution-and-architecture-of-bivalve-genomes The project investigates how repetitive DNA sequences, particularly satellite DNAs and transposable elements, shape genome architecture and drive molecular evolution in bivalve mollusks. These sequences play important roles in chromosome structure, gene regulation, and genome plasticity, yet many aspects of their evolution and function remain poorly understood. Using a combination of experimental and bioinformatic approaches, the research focuses on: • organization and evolution of repetitive DNA • interactions between satellite DNAs and transposable elements • comparative repeatomics across native and invasive oyster species Bivalves are ecologically and economically important organisms, and their genomes contain a high proportion of repetitive elements, making them excellent systems to study genome evolution and structural diversity. Location: Zagreb, Croatia Institution: Ruđer Bošković Institute – Division of Molecular Biology Research field: molecular genetics, genomics, evolutionary biology, repeatomics Application details: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/417380 DEADLINE: April 10th 23:55 For all questions contact PI at Eva.Satovic@irb.hr.
