− | The Postdoc will take part in a large collaborative project (BetNet) of the GBB with the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML, Leiden University), the Mathematical Institute (MI, Leiden University), and the Leiden institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS, Leiden University), funded by the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO), within the Computational Lif Sciences programme. The goal of this project is to resolve the dynamics of gene regulation networks, by using the quantitative demands on the shape of bacterial bet-hedging strategy distributions that are imposed by fluctuating selection environments. As a model system, we study the adaptation of the distribution of sporulation-initiation timing in B.subtilis to randomly changing environments and cue reliability.

| |
− | The project at Molecular Genetics mainly focuses on the experimental part, involving the design and execution of specific selection experiments in B. subtilis, the characterization of evolved strains by transcriptome analysis, time lapse microscopy, FACS, and whole genome resequencing of selected strains. For the modeling, evolution biology and bioinformnatics we will closely collaborate with the partners in Leiden.
