PhD Student Position: Evolutionary/Functional Genomics

A PhD student position in Evolutionary and Functional Genomics is
available at the University of Munich. The student will join a
collaborative research group studying natural selection in structured
populations and be enrolled in the Munich Graduate School for
Evolution, Ecology and Sytematics (EESLMU).

The project involves the analysis of gene expression variation in
natural populations of Drosophila. This includes a microarray survey of
gene expression variation, with particular focus on adaptive regulatory
changes between ecologically differentiated populations. It also
includes DNA sequence analysis and transgenic experiments to study the
evolution of gene regulatory elements.

The University of Munich has a strong, interactive group in
evolutionary biology, including theoreticians and experimentalists
working on both plant and animal systems. We have an international
group and the everyday working language is English. The Department of
Biology is housed in the new, state-of-the-art BioCenter on the
University of Munich High-Tech campus. More information is available on
the web at:

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. In addition, laboratory experience in
molecular biology and/or genetics is desired. Interested candidates
should send a CV, statement of interest, and contact information of two
potential referees as a single PDF file to Prof. John Parsch
(parsch@bio.lmu.de).

Review of applications will begin on Feb. 20, 2009 and will continue
until the position is filled.

The University of Munich is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer and has an affirmative action policy for the disabled.
