Molecular genetics of plant reproductive barriers
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position to study the molecular-genetic basis of interspecific hybrid incompatibility and its genetic linkage to the well-studied pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation loci in wild Petunia. The successful postdoc will validate candidate genes underlying hybrid incompatibility by gene editing and study their distribution in natural populations.
