Graduate positions: Evolutionary Genetics Germany
August 3, 2008
Graduate positions: Evolutionary Genetics
Several PhD student positions in Evolutionary and Population Genetics
are available to study natural selection in structured populations.
The students will join a collaborative Research Center located at the
University of Munich, the University of Freiburg and the University
of Vienna. The specific (experimental and theoretical) projects are:
1) Selection on expression variation at the B4galnt2 gene in natural
populations of house mice (John Baines, Munich; baines@bio.lmu.de)
2) Selection and the evolution of resistance in structured host
populations (Susanne Foitzik and Pleuni Pennings, Munich;
foitzik@zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de; pennings@lmu.de)
3) The signature of selection in structured populations (Joachim
Hermisson, Vienna, and Peter Pfaffelhuber, Freiburg;
joachim.hermisson@univie.ac.at; peter.pfaffelhuber@stochastik.uni-
freiburg.de)
4) Population genetic methods for inferring adaptation in populations
with complex demography (Dirk Metzler and Laura Rose, Munich;
metzler@cs.uni-frankfurt.de; rose@zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de)
5) The evolutionary basis of alphaproteobacterial diversity (J?rg
Overmann, Munich; j.overmann@LRZ.uni-muenchen.de)
6) Gene expression variation in natural populations of Drosophila
(John Parsch, Munich; parsch@zi.biologie.uni-muenchen.de)
7) Selective sweeps in Drosophila melanogaster (Wolfgang Stephan,
Munich; stephan@bio.lmu.de)
PhD positions are available in projects 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7.
PhD students will receive a salary according to the German pay scale
(E13/2 TV-L). Applicants should have a master’s degree or equivalent
in biology or a related field. Interested candidates should send a
CV, statement of interest, and contact information of two potential
referees as a single PDF file to the principal investigators of the
individual projects (mentioned above) or to stephan@bio.lmu.de
Applications will be reviewed beginning September 1, 2008. The
positions are expected to start on November 1, 2008.

I am yosief ghide, a graduate of Biology from the University of Asmara ,Eritrea(East Africa). I am genuiely interested to pursue post–grad education particularly in the fields of microbiology and tissue culture which have key roles in the society of Eritrea.
I comleted my undergraduate studies with major GPA of 3.36 and earned a cGPA of 3.04(Out of scale of 4.00). Currently i am assuming the role of Graduate assistant in the department of Biology at Eritrea Institute of Technology and Teacher Education. Prior that i taught Biology to senior high school students for a couple of years.So could you please help me how and where to apply.
I would very much like to know if I am qualified to apply.
Sinsery yours,
Yosief Ghide

My name is Masoud Abu Halimah, 26 years old male from Palestine, I have completed my bachelor’s degree from faculty of Applied Medical Science department of Lab Medicine, and within few days my final dissertation in DNA Typing (15 STR loci frequency in Palestinian population of Gaza Strip) from Faculty of Life Sciences department of Molecular Biology will be discussed, really I wish I could complete my study in population generic in order to help my people, Really I am very interested on this field of study. So I would be so happy if you accept me in this position.
