Summary
Ksenia Juravel is a bioinformatician with eight years of experience specializing in genomics and the molecular ecology of one of the world’s most damaging agricultural pests. She combines deep academic training (PhD and magna cum laude MSc from Hebrew University) with hands-on genome assembly, Hi-C analysis, and custom bioinformatics pipelines developed during international collaborations such as the MSCA ITN IGNITE. Currently splitting her time between research in Prof. Shai Morin’s lab, science writing, and mentoring young researchers, she translates complex genomic data into actionable insights and accessible scientific communication. Her work uniquely bridges evolutionary phylogenomics and applied agroecology, using in-house code to resolve challenging deep nodes while keeping practical pest management outcomes in view. Known for fostering inclusive international teams, she has represented peers in Marie Curie networks and designed student-driven research projects from experiment to publication. Based in Rehovot, Israel, she seeks a team whose environmental and research priorities align with her dedication to impactful, data-driven solutions.
