We are searching for two postdocs to work on the analysis of next
generation sequencing data. One position is available for the analysis
of RNA-Seq data and another position for re-sequencing of genomic DNA.
Both positions are associated with an ERC funded project using
experimental evolution to understand the evolutionary dynamics of
populations adapting to a novel environment. We are using Drosophila
as a model system, since it is a sexual species with a short
generation time that can be maintained at large population sizes in
the laboratory. Both positions will be provided with access to
proprietary data and the opportunity to further develop the project
based on initial data analyses.
We are searching for applicants with a solid knowledge in at least two
of these research areas: statistics, population genetics and
bioinformatics. Previous experience with NGS data analysis is a bonus.
The position will be based at the Institute of Population Genetics at
the Vetmeduni Vienna (Austria). ). The research focus of the Institute
is on understanding the genetics of adaptation. This central question
in evolutionary biology is being tackled using up-to-date methods and
a variety of approaches, including experimental evolution,
quantitative genetics, examination of life history traits, Evo-Devo,
empirical population genetics, bioinformatics and statistics.
In recent years, Vienna has developed into one of the leading centers
in evolutionary biology (http://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 positions are available from July 2012. The minimum salary will be
47334euro /year. The application should be emailed to
[email protected] as a single pdf containing CV,
list of publications, a statement of research interests, and the names
of three references with contact details. While the search will
continue until the position is filled, applications should be received
by April 30, 2012 to ensure full consideration.
