Overview
Universität Basel, Zoologisches Institut
SWITZERLAND
2 Postdoc positions
in evolutionary microbial (meta-)genomics
are available in the research group of Dieter Ebert (University of Basel, Switzerland). The research group has an emphasis on the evolution and genetics of host-symbiont interactions (http://evolution.unibas.ch/).
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with an interest in evolutionary and microbial genomics, metagenomics and microbiota community structure. A background in any of the following fields is desired: microbiology, bio-informatics, population genetics, experimental evolutionary ecology, metagenomics and evolutionary genomics. The positions are funded to work on the population structure and functional aspects of host-microbiome interactions in Daphnia. The suggested methodology includes metagenome approaches, comparative metagenomics, experimental studies of host-microbe interactions, QTL typing, and population surveys. Previous experience with Daphnia is not required, but excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, good work ethics, and the ability to think creatively and critically are desired. The working language at the institute is English. Starting dates are flexible, from April 2011 onwards. Positions are funded for 3 years with a 1 year trial period.
How to apply
Please send your application by E-mail to Dieter Ebert (dieter.ebert@unibas.ch). Applications should include a single pdf-file containing CV, a list of publications and a 1 page description of your research interests and motivation. Please give names and email addresses of two persons who are willing to write a letter of recommendation. Applications received before 20 January 2011 will be given full consideration. Interviews will be held in the second half of February 2011.
Note: We are also looking for two PhD students and a technician on the same project (see separate announcement).
