University of Hamburg, Germany: Two Research Associate (PhD Student) positions in Rapid adaptive Change The two PhD projects are part of a research consortium "Rapid adaptive Change" at University Hamburg. Central to all projects is a data science approach to handle and analyze large and complex data. We aim to understand the responses of organisms to environmental change, which is critical to managing and preserving biodiversity, especially in the light of global climate change. Our approach is taxonomically and functionally broad, spanning genomic, molecular, morphological, physiological and community level analysis in animals, plants and fungi. We will apply experimental evolution, phylogenomics, network analyses as well as utilize the rich biological collections that have been capturing diversity over the past 200 years. We are looking for PhD Students for the following subprojects: The bog of eternal stench? The repeatability of evolutionary responses of bog communities to warming, Application deadline 26.03.2025 Find more information and apply under the following link: https://www.uni-hamburg.de/stellenangebote/ausschreibung.html?jobID=d8d9489b1e091a7456a9399ae376effe63e10616 and Changes in population genomics of Ericaceae and their specific parasites in Northern Europe, Application deadline 31.03.2025 Find more information and apply under the following link: https://www.uni-hamburg.de/stellenangebote/ausschreibung.html?jobID=27bef96160451364faa420db0aabe5c87e2619b7 For informal inquiries please see contacts in the links or contact Kathrin Otte: kathrin.otte@uni-hamburg.de Prof. Dr. Kathrin Otte Research Unit of Population Genomics University of Hamburg Biology Department Institute of Cell and Systems Biology of Animals Martin-Luther-King-Pl. 3 20146 Hamburg Germany "Otte, Prof. Dr. Kathrin" (to subscribe/unsubscribe the EvolDir send mail to golding@mcmaster.ca)
