Very excited to be able to advertise a post-doc opening to join a HFSP project on the origin of apical growth in vascular plants. The project focusses on lycophytes, and ties together analyses of fossil and living lycophyte morphology with transcriptomic and developmental and genetic studies. It will involve collaboration with partners in Edinburgh (Sandy Hetherington), Kyoto (Rieko Fujinami), and Ghent (Tom Beeckman), and some exchange between labs. Work in my lab will identify genes initiating sporangium development and test the role of candidate regulators of lycophyte apical growth. The closing date is 6th March 2024, and I’m happy to take any questions about it by e-mail. There is more information on this link.
