Eighteen-month Postdoc Position: Haplotype-Resolved Assembly and
Structural Variation of Polyploid Genomes in Transmissible Cancers of
the Blue Mussel (M/F)

Announcement here:
https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/333894

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the ERC
project HyperCan: Mechanisms and evolutionary significance of hyperploidy
variations in blue mussel transmissible cancer.  The postdoc's main task
will be to produce high-quality reference genomes of MtrBTN transmissible
cancers in blue mussels. They will process and assemble long-read
sequencing data (PacBio, ONT and Hi-C) to generate haplotype-resolved
assemblies of these polyploid genomes, as outlined in the HyperCan
project plan. Obtaining such reference genomes is a critical step for
the continuation of the project, as well as for the broader scientific
community working on this topic. The researcher will also analyse
nucleotide and structural variants identified in these genomes.
