Project description:

The sAnDeRNA project focuses on the characterisation of blood-circulating small non-coding RNAs (c-sncRNAs) in pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) and on evaluating their potential as non-lethal biomarkers of reproductive status and gamete quality. The research covers two consecutive reproductive cycles – the first in virgin fish and the subsequent cycle in reproductively experienced fish – in both females and males. The project also includes the development of a multi-tissue sncRNA and mRNA atlas, analysis of the expression of sncRNA target genes within the reproductive axis, and identification of c-sncRNAs associated with egg and sperm quality.

Position description:

The successful candidate will participate in molecular research, data analysis, and interpretation of results generated within the sAnDeRNA project. The main responsibilities will include:

  1. Participation in the controlled reproduction of pikeperch, including broodstock preparation and handling, gamete collection, in vitro fertilisation, and larval rearing;
  2. Assessment of gamete quality and reproductive outcomes;
  3. Collection, preparation, and preservation of biological material for molecular analyses;
  4. Performance of molecular analyses, particularly RNA isolation and quality assessment, and validation of the expression of selected RNAs/genes;
  5. Analysis and interpretation of transcriptomic data and integration of molecular and zootechnical data;
  6. Statistical and bioinformatic analysis of data and identification of potential biomarkers associated with reproduction and gamete quality;
