Oferta pracy
Nazwa stanowiska: PhD student
Wymagania:
1. MSc diploma (or other documents confirming the Master’s degree) in Biology, Biotechnology, or related disciplines.
2. The candidate should have experience in molecular cytogenetics, molecular biology, or a related discipline. A basic practical skill set in standard molecular biology techniques is required, including DNA isolation, PCR, electrophoresis, and cloning.
3. Additional experience in molecular cytogenetic methods and bioinformatics will be highly advantageous. This includes techniques such as non-radioactive DNA probe labelling, fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with various probe types, epifluorescence microscopy, and digital image acquisition and analysis. Knowledge of bioinformatics analyses will be considered an asset.
4. A good command of English at a fluent level is required, enabling the candidate to present seminars and prepare scientific publications.
5. The candidate should be able to work independently as well as collaboratively within a research team.
The research will focus on the evolution and organisation of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences in selected Amaranthus species using molecular, cytogenetic, bioinformatic, and phylogenetic approaches. The analyses will aim to improve understanding of genome evolution and rDNA dynamics during polyploidization and diploidization processes, including sequence variation, chromosomal localization, and transcriptional activity of rDNA variants. The project will also investigate karyotype evolution and chromosome number variation in Amaranthus, with particular emphasis on chromosome fusion events and dysploidy, by integrating genome assembly data with comparative cytogenetic analyses. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosome-specific oligonucleotide probes will be used to identify chromosomal rearrangements and to elucidate mechanisms underlying genome organization and evolution in Amaranthus.
• Plant material cultivation and preparation

• Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunostaining
• Epifluorescence and confocal microscopy analyses, including image processing
• Participation in bioinformatic analyses
• Design and application of oligonucleotide probes for FISH
• Participation in data analysis, manuscript preparation, and conference presentations
