Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Plant Molecular Biology The Plant Systematics Laboratory at the São Paulo State University's Faculty of Agrarian and Veterinary Sciences (FCAV-v) in Jaboticabal, Brazil, is seeking a post-doctoral fellow to conduct research in Plant Molecular Biology within the scope of CBioClima - a Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center (RIDC) supported by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and hosted by the Institute of Biosciences (UNESP Rio Claro). The project involves large-scale sequencing, assembly, and annotation of complete genomes and transcriptomes of Lentibulariaceae species, aiming to study their responses to morphological adaptations and specific environmental factors. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Plant Biology, Plant Genetics, or related fields. Requirements include solid knowledge and practical experience in molecular biology techniques, including gene expression analysis and NGS sequencing, with preference given to experience with nanopore technologies. Proficiency in bioinformatics and programming languages such as Python, Perl, R, and Markdown is essential. Familiarity with the Lentibulariaceae family, genomic evolution, plant evolution, plant collection and sampling practices, and fieldwork are considered strong advantages. The candidate's qualifications must be demonstrated by publications in peer-reviewed journals. Fluency in English and the ability to collaborate within interdisciplinary teams are mandatory. Applicants should send a motivation letter (200 words maximum), a curriculum summary in the FAPESP format or a link to his/her CV, and two letters of recommendation tovitor.miranda@unesp.brwith the subject line "PD_Lentibulariaceae/Molecular Biology." This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 12,000.00 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.
