Offer Description

The laboratory is interested in understanding the origin of new organs during the radiation of winged insects. With this aim, the Almudi lab is using single cell –omics approaches to address how morphological novelties appeared, evolved and promoted the outstanding radiation of the insect lineage and the conquest of the sky. During the last years, the laboratory has established the mayfly species, Cloeon dipterum, as an emergent model organism to investigate insect evolution and evolutionary novelties (see Almudi et al., (2020)Nat Comms 11, 2631; Almudi et al., (2019)Evodevo 10, 6). The specific aims of the mayFLYeye project are studying the origin and evolution of the regulatory networks responsible for the appearance of wings in insects.

Gross salary per year: 32.000 €.
