University Assistant Postdoc (~ 5 years) in Evolutionary Modeling at the
University of Vienna

The Mathematics and BioSciences group (MaBS) at the University of
Vienna is looking for a strong and highly motivated candidate for a
University Assistant position in evolutionary modeling. The research
focus is flexible and includes work in population genetics or genomics,
quantitative genetics, and evolutionary ecology. See the MaBS homepage
( https://www.mabs.at/) for further information on our research interests.

In recent years, Vienna has developed into one of the leading centers
in evolutionary biology (https://www.evolvienna.at/). In addition to a
stimulating scientific environment, Vienna also offers an extraordinarily
high quality of life. Affordable housing, excellent public transport,
great restaurants, a range of international schools, two operas, two
music centers, many theaters, and museums, in combination with a pleasant
climate make Vienna one of the most attractive cities in Europe.

The successful candidate will have a record of high-quality research in
evolutionary modeling. S/he is expected to develop and maintain an
independent research profile and to attract third-party funding. In
addition to research, the candidate will contribute to teaching and will
supervise students.

The position comes with a competitive salary; it is offered with a start
date as soon as possible (negotiable) and with an end date on 30.09.2030.

Formal requirement is a PhD and a strong background and interest in
quantitative evolutionary research (analytical or computational modeling).
Prior postdoc experience and the proven ability to attract funding are
desirable. The working language is English; German skills are not essential.

Applications should include:

# a cover letter
# a scientific CV, including a list of publications, talks, third-party
funding, and teaching activities (if applicable)
