A 3 year PhD position is available in the Experimental Ecology group
(headed by Paul Schmid-Hempel), Institute of Integrative Biology (IBZ)
at ETH Zurich to study Red Queen dynamics during host-parasite
coevolution under the supervision of Mathias Wegner.
We use the Red Flour beetle Tribolium castanaeum and its
microsporidian parasite Nosema whitei as a model system to
experimentally study the short term evolution of recombination rate of
the host. Depending on the scientific interest of the candidate, the
work can include experimental evolution, experimental manipulation of
recombination rate by artificial selection and RNA interference, and
determination of host genetic factors influencing resistance and
measurement of population genetic parameters during coevolution.
The applicant ideally has some background in molecular and
evolutionary biology (especially population genetics). Applications
and enquiries should be sent to Mathias Wegner (mathias.wegner@env.ethz.ch
) by 10th May 2008 and contain a short summary of their motivation and
relevant experience, along with their CV, and contact information for
2-3 references.
Salary is according to SNF (Swiss National Fund) guidelines.
