The DEEVA team proposes a research project to host a post-doctoral fellow: Functional and comparative approaches with ascidian embryos to study the evolution of developmental mechanisms.
While EvoDevo has largely focused on the identification of conserved mechanisms regulating the formation of homologous structures, a wide range of changes occur in the course of evolution without systematic phenotypic consequences. The current state of biology allows to access the diversity of species to document the evolution of developmental mechanisms. The project will use ascidians as models to address this question using functional genomic approaches. It will benefit from our location at the marine station of Banyuls-sur-mer with access to a number of species, and from the resources and technics we have developed.
The Sorbonne University program is very attractive:
- Master Class with usefull and practical guidelines for grant writing.
- Support during the grant application.
- Possible funding by Sorbonne University for the laureates of the Seal of Excellence not funded by the European Commission.
