Schierwater lab for a motivated young investigator to undertake molecular
genetic analyses in or more of the following areas: Polarity/cancer
research on the placozoon Trichoplax, evolutionary systematics of
Placozoa, conservation genetics of dragonflies and/or environmental
genomics of marine ecosystems.

Interest in fundamental questions of evolutionary adaptation and
speciation is essential.Experience with functional genomics and/or
transcriptome analysis and/or eDNA and bioinformatics is highly
desirable. The successful candidate will have ample opportunity to
pursue additional projects and define his own project within the broad
molecular ecology/evolutionary genetics scope of the lab. We provide
excellent working conditions.

Salary is according to the German E13 salary scale.
