The Wilfert lab is looking for a postdoc to join us at the University of
Regensburg, where we will be part of a new center for organismic biology
focusing on biotic interactions. Our group works on a wide range of
topics from the evolution of invertebrate immune systems to the drivers
of biodiversity loss, with a focus on host-pathogen evolution and ecology
in pollinators - more information on our research can be found here
https://www.uni-ulm.de/nawi/evolutionary-ecology-and-conservation-genomics/prof-dr-lena-wilfert/
. There are a range of ongoing and planned projects that you can
join. The position will also allow you to develop your own research, in
collaboration with our group and aligning with the center's focus. This
means that you are eligible to apply for full research grants as a PI or
CoPI, which is highly encouraged.  Our lab offers a variety of options
to investigate your research questions, as we integrate fieldwork,
experiments, and genetic approaches. We primarily work with bumblebees,
honeybees, ants, and Drosophila, but we are open to exploring other
systems.

The position (E13, 100%) is initially for 4 years, starting from the 1st
of September (based on the German Wissenschaftszeitgesetz). Importantly,
the position comes with a (moderate) teaching load (5 SWS), but involves
some teaching in German. Therefore, in addition to a PhD and research
experience, you need to have at least some level of proficiency in German
for this position (non-native speakers absolutely welcome!).

For further information and applying, please contact Prof. Dr. Lena
Wilfert lena.wilfert@uni-ulm.de. More information can be found on our
website  closing date is the 2nd of June 2025.
