Sumário

Biodiversity is unevenly distributed across space, time and across different taxonomic lineages. Currently, this analysis is based on bioinformatics using phylogenetic, population and evolutionary genetic methods, to test hypotheses about the driving forces of rapid diversification.At the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Changes (CE3C) we aim for a profile that:1)  has experience in advanced molecular genetic techniques to understand fundamental processes and to promote the investigation of cellular structure and function in plant organisms and how they evolve;2) has a deep understanding of the mechanisms that regulate gene expression in different biological contexts, using experimental and computational approaches;3) can develop and apply bioinformatics algorithms to extract relevant information from large sets of data, namely genomic and proteomics;4) knows how to apply genomic techniques to solve complex biological problems.This area of research is essential to the objectives of CE3C, reflecting an integrated approach to the evolutionary responsiveness of the biological world subject to new environmental challenges. The aim is to hire a researcher (with a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences or related areas) with expertise in these skills, ensuring continuity of CE3C research on this essential topic, giving relevance to the scarcity of these studies in plants, favouring previous experience in different biological models. This hiring is aligned with CE3C´s strategic plan for 2025-2029, through integration into the thematic line “Evolutionary perspectives in a Changing World”.
