PHD POSITION IN TRANSPOSON BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION at the Medical
University of Vienna, Austria

A PhD position in "Germ line regulation and evolution of Transposons in
the model system Drosophila" is available in the group of Wolfgang J.
Miller at the Medical University of Vienna (Department of Cell and
Developmental Biology, Lab Genome Dynamics), Vienna, Austria. The PhD
position is funded for at least three years, and an extension of the
contract is very likely.

This research project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) in
close collaboration with two labs in Paris (Univ. Sorbonne and Saclay),
France, and will focus on the regulatory and evolutionary dynamics of
P-element transposons in different Drosophila species with emphasis on
neotropical fruit flies from nature.

We are seeking a highly talented, independent, hard-working and
self-motivated young biologist with excellent social skills. The
successful candidate needs to have a strong background in genetics,
molecular and cellular biology, preferentially in the Drosophila system.
Some background in population and evolutionary biology, genomics, and/or
microbiology would be ideal, but is not required. The working language
in the laboratory is English, so the candidate should be proficient in
spoken and written English. The initial appointment will be made for one
year, with a possible extension to up to three years. The position is
available from February 2025.

To apply, please send a single pdf file including: (1) a cover letter
explaining why you would like to join our group, (2) your Curriculum
Vitae (including a description of your skills), (3) your publication
list, (4) a statement of research interests, and (5) contact details for
2-3 references who are willing to write a reference letter on your
behalf to the following e-mail address:
