Postdoctoral position in Laboratory of Reproductive Biology
The Postdoctoral Fellow will mainly be responsible for a project which targets to study and compare various modes of “asexuality”, including the underexplored sex chromosomal situation in parental bisexual species and hybrid “asexuals”, the alteration of gametogenesis and fertilization in four independently evolved “asexual” complexes of fishes and amphibians. The outcome of the research will deliver insights into the onset of “asexuality” in different vertebrates by hybridization (including the parental sex determination systems) and reveal the underlying processes of partial genome elimination, occurring either after fertilization or during gametogenesis as well as ameiotic and premeiotic genome endoreplication leading to clonality.
