Fixed-time (30 months) third level Researcher (R3) in the field of RNA-Seq available at the Edmund Mach Foundation, funded by the HEU project BRYOMOLECULES.
The BRYOMOLECULES project, started on September 1st 2024, aims to explore the untapped potential of EU bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) to develop innovative, sustainable bioactive compounds for use in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals while contributing to the EU Green Deal.
Key Responsibilities:
- Assemble and annotate multiple de novo transcriptomes from bryophytes
- Carry out gene mining: identify and select candidate genes from transcriptome data sets obtained from different bryophyte species
- Develop methods for the integration of different data sources aimed at the identification of candidate biosynthetic genes for added value metabolites
- Contribute to establish an online database of the major biosynthetic pathways for secondary metabolism in bryophytes
This position will provide a unique professional experience at the interface between fundamental and applied research, allowing the successful candidate to develop her/his own research ideas aligned with the project’s goals
We are looking for:
Proficiency in de novo RNA-Seq
Strong self-motivation, adaptability and passion for research
