PhD Scholarship for Molecular Ecology and Ecological Epigenetics in plants at Radboud Universiteit

Overview
Evolutionary adaptation is generally considered to be the result of natural selection on fenotypes and their associated genotype. Recently however, evidence is accumulating that epigenetic processes, such as DNA methylation and chromatin modification, may play an important role in the short-term adaptation of plants to rapidly changing environmentats, such as are the consequence of climate change.

In a European wide project (EpiCOL), considering the role of epigenetic regulation mechanisms as an alternative means towards adaptation in plants, we work on delivering “proof of principle” for the ecological and evolutionary significance of epigenetic variation. The project is a cooperation between ecologists, evolutionary biologists and epigenomicists from France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands.
