Postdoctoral Associate in RNA Biology
The research team of Professor Eric Miska is recruiting a postdoctoral associate in the area of RNA biology.
We are an international, supportive and collaborative research group. Most of our ongoing research projects fall under one of these broader themes:
- RNA modifications and structure
- Small- and non-coding RNA biology
- RNA in communication and defense
- Genomics, epigenomics, and Inheritance
- Adaptive plasticity and evolution
Our projects span miRNA biology and pathology, miRNA mechanisms, piRNA biology and the germline, endo-siRNAs in epigenetic inheritance and environmental conditioning, small RNA evolution, and the role of RNAi in host pathogen interactions.
