A PhD project is available in an RNA (epi)genetics laboratory focusing on how RNA modifications regulate gene expression in germ cells, using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. This project offers a multidisciplinary research environment and extensive career development support.

This PhD project will explore how modifications to small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) regulate specific gene expressions during the development of C. elegans. The successful candidate will utilize various techniques, including RNA sequencing, to understand the connection between snRNA methylation and splice site choice, impacting transcript isoform expression.

The project investigates the role of snRNA modifications in isoform-specific gene expression, utilizing techniques in molecular biology, genetics, and RNA sequencing. Researchers can expect to be part of a vibrant research community with opportunities for mentorship and networking.

Qualifications 

Candidates with a strong background in molecular biology, genetics, or related fields are encouraged to apply.
