Our lab is seeking highly motivated undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdoctoral fellows, interested in reproductive biology, fertility, gamete interaction, and cell–cell fusion. Our research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of fertilization and early embryo development: how the egg and sperm recognize each other and fuse, in a highly regulated manner, to form a functional embryo. We combine basic science with impactful translational research aimed at improving animal fertility and dairy production. We promote a collaborative and inclusive environment and welcome talented candidates from diverse scientific backgrounds, including (but not limited to) biology, veterinary sciences, genetics, environmental sciences, and agricultural engineering.
Our projects involve both in vivo and in vitro reproductive techniques, including work with gametes, cell culture, microscopy, and a range of biochemical and molecular approaches.
Qualified candidates should send their CV to Dr Nicolas Brukman. via Email: nicolas@volcani.agri.gov.il
