The project Worldwide, at least 40% of vascular plants are threatened with extinction. Although land-use intensification has been identified as the overall main driver, it is much less known if extinction risk is predictable from species’ attributes. Identifying the biological, ecological and geographical features that make species vulnerable to extinction (i.e. extinction risk assessment) might help us to predict which species are most prone to decline and gain a more detailed understanding of the reasons behind declines. In practical terms, this approach allows for prioritization in nature conservation (single species, groups of species, particular communities) by focusing on a small number of indicator species categorized as at high risk, to prevent local biodiversity loss at low cost. The main aim of this research project is to determine a set of plant features (e.g. ecological niche, life-history traits, distribution range and local abundance, long-term...

A two-year Postdoc position is available 15 April 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter in the Gorodkin lab (https://ivh.ku.dk/bioinformatics  Center for non-coding RNA in Technology and Health (RTH), (http://rth.dk) at Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (https://ivh.ku.dk/english), Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at University of Copenhagen. The CRISPR field is developing rapidly and is continuously providing novel technological possibilities by several types of applications including gene editing and gene surgery. An understudied key challenge in these types of applications is off-targets. These are guide RNAs (gRNAs) which edit or operate on other genes than the intended one. This postdoc position precisely addresses this problem by developing computational tools for guide RNA (gRNA) design that do not only take off-targets into account but also how these are affected by DNA modifications. The position is funded by the Independent Research Fund...
