Dear All, The newly established Population Genetics Group at the University of Rostock is looking for a postdoctoral scientist (full-time) for three years, starting 1 Nov 2024 or later, with the possibility for extension. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology or similar field. They would bring experience in evolutionary genomics, as evidenced by at least one publication in this broad area. We are looking for an enthusiastic researcher who is keen to develop their own research profile with the aim of scientific qualification (habilitation) and simultaneously enjoys collaborating with others. The tasks include scientific teaching in the amount of 4 semester periods per week in the form of lectures and practical courses in the Bachelor, Master and teacher programs. Please send your application via the university application portal, official ad here: https://jobs.uni-rostock.de/jobposting/0402d256e57231a34ae134759ef3222bd72d5a840?ref=homepage Application should comprise a cover letter, resume with a publication list and contact information for at least two references, diploma with indication of final grade, summary of previous research experience and exciting projects you want to conduct (max 2 pages) all in one single file combined. Application deadline is Sept 10th, 2024. Further information about the position can be obtained from mathilde.cordellier@uni-hamburg.de About the lab: The Population Genetics group at the University of Rostock is a newly established chair led by Dr. Mathilde Cordellier, with a focus on evolutionary research, mainly with invertebrate species. Our work is at the interface of evolution and ecology. Our goal is to understand rapid adaption through hybridization processes by studying the genomes of invertebrate species such as Daphnia. Working on these species offer the unique opportunity to look back in time by using resting stages, and planned projects include the genomic analysis of sediment cores. Further, the group is working on genome and sex chromosome evolution in spiders. We make use of a broad range of techniques: life history experiments, transcriptomics, genome sequencing, bioinformatics are contributing to our understanding of species' evolution.
