PhD Studentship: Identifying the Evolutionary Origin of ‘Female’ Meiosis in Seed Plants
University of Birmingham
United Kingdom
Summary
PhD opportunity: study the evolution of female meiosis in ferns, using Ceratopteris richardii. Projects include microscopy, RNA-seq, gene-expression mapping, and functional SHUGOSHIN genetics to test ancestral meiotic roles. Ideal for plant science and genome biology researchers.
