PhD-position in evolutionary ecology and genomics

I am looking for highly motivated candidates with interests in evolutionary ecology/genetics/genomics. The research group employs laboratory- and field-based approaches to understand the evolution of phenotypic and genetic diversity. The Ebert research group covers the entire range from evolutionary and ecological aspects of local adaptation, environmental stress, host-parasite interactions, coevolution, phylogenetics and biogeography, to studies on the genetics and genomics of entire populations.

The PhD project is concerned with the role of environmental stress and the role of parasitism in natural populations of the planktonic crustacean Daphnia. The detailed project will be worked out with the successful candidates.

A Master degree (or equivalent) in biology or related subject is necessary for admission. Experience in bioinformatics, molecular tools, and data analysis are helpful, but are not required.

Please send your application by email (all material in one PDF please) to Dieter Ebert. Applications should include a motivation letter (including research interests), a CV and a list of publications. Please give names and email addresses of two persons who are willing to write a letter of recommendation. Application deadline is 1. April 2023.
