Poatdoc position in fish reproduction and gametes biology at the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine
Deadline: September 30th 2021; Location: University Autónoma of Barcelona (UAB), SPAIN
The Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine is offering one position in my lab. The initial topic proposed is “Molecular basis of spermiogenesis and development of biotechnologies for the in vitro production of fertile sperm in fish”, but the specific research to be carried out can be modulated depending on the interest of the candidate (the research lines of my group can be seen below).
We are looking for a candidate for the Maria Zambrano call who must have >24 months of postdoctoral experience and advanced skills in molecular and cell biology and knowledge in functional genomics and proteomics.

2 PhD positions in fish reproduction and gametes biology at the Institute of Animal Reproduction and Food Research
Deadline: July 15th 2021; Location: Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland)
The project is aiming at exploration (at zootechnical and molecular level) of parental contribution to progeny quality in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis). The research will involve precise controlled reproduction, gamete management, larviculture and modern analytical tools (transcriptomics, flow cytometry and others) and will focus on finding “whether” and “how” females and/or males are contributing to progeny quality in the species studied.
All you need is motivation and will of exploration! We will teach you the rest stuff needed! 🙂
The PhD positions are fully funded by the project granted by National Science Center for Poland.
Duration: 4 years
Monthly salary: around 850 EUR net salary (for comparison: national minium net salary in Poland is approx. 540 EUR)

PhD position in heart reneration at the Weidinger Lab in Ulm University
Deadline: April 30th 2021; Location: Ulm University (Germany)
While heart injury results in permanent damage in adult mammals including humans, zebrafish can efficiently regenerate the heart. Our lab studies the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms (Bertozzi et al Dev. Biol 2021, Honkoop et al elife 2019, Wu et al Dev. Cell 2016, Zebrowski et al., elife 2015, Schnabel et al., PLOS One 2011). Cardiomyocytes are regenerated from spared differentiated cardiomyocytes, which dedifferentiate and re-enter the cell cycle. Surprisingly, we have found that proliferating cardiomyocytes experience replication stress, which is a major reason for declining regenerative abilities in aged mammals. Zebrafish can overcome the replication stress with the help of BMP signaling. Thus, we speculate that zebrafish heart regeneration depends on an elevated ability to overcome roadblocks that cause declining tissue renewal during aging in mammals, suggesting that zebrafish regeneration can be used to identify anti-aging mechanisms. The successful PhD candidate will use state-of-the art in vivo experiments in zebrafish, including Cre-lox based transgenics, genetic mutants and RNASeq to test this hypothesis and to identify mechanisms by which BMP signaling alleviates replication stress. The project is embedded in a collaborate research initiative (SFB) of Ulm University
We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated scientist (f/m/d) who is dedicated to performing fundamental research.
We expect:
- Training in developmental biology, molecular biology, cellular biology or related fields.
- Enthusiasm for regenerative biology.
- Excellent communication skills in spoken and written English.
We offer:
- The opportunity to work in an international, dynamic and motivated team.
- State-of-the art resources, including a 1000 tank zebrafish facility.
- The possibility to join the international graduate school of Ulm University, iGradU.
- Payment and benefits according to the collective agreement TV-L 13.
Applications including a CV, a statement of research experience and interests (max. 2 pages), and contact data for 2-3 references should be emailed to Prof. Dr. Gilbert Weidinger, gilbert.weidinger@uni-ulm.de
