UniNaples.interorchids Postdoctoral Position at the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy We are accepting applications for a one-year post doctorate fellow position in the field of orchid biotic interactions metabarcoding. Review of applications begins on early-July 2024 OVERVIEW: We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate with a strong expertise in Bioinformatics alongside a strong background in plant evolutionary ecology. The candidate must have completed a Ph.D. degree in the last three years, preferably in the areas of plant-pollination, plant-fungal interaction, pollen or soil metabarcoding and must show a clear experience of application of bioinformatic tools to these fields. The work will focus on analysing NGS metabarcoding data already generated for identification of fungal partners and pollinator network of orchid communities. HOW TO APPLY: To apply, please submit in one PDF file: (i) one page cover letter including motivation and research interests, (ii) a CV, and (iii) contact information for two references electronically, to cozzolin@unina.it Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. Job can start as early as September 2024. *The selected candidate will be required to present official credentials from all his/her academic degrees. If you have questions about the position and the project, please email me.

Review of applications begins on mid-July 2024 OVERVIEW: We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate with an interest in Bioinformatic and a strong background in plant population genomics/genetics. The candidate must have completed a Ph.D. degree in the last three years, preferably in the areas of genomics and bioinformatics. The work will focus on the assembly and comparative analyses of already sequenced plant genomes. We aim to identify region of genomic divergence among orchid species with a special emphasis on structural variants associated to plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore interactions.
