PhD thesis in computational evolutionary biology*
PhD thesis in computational evolutionary biology*
A three-year Ph.D. studentship in evolutionary biology is available in the laboratory of Andreas Wagner at the University of Zurich. We are looking for a researcher to study robustness and evolvability in large metabolic networks, using computational approaches. The successful candidate will have a strong background in bioinformatics and computational biology. Fluency in a major scripting language such as perl, and experience in software development is a must. Also necessary is a strong background in biology. Applications without a emonstrated
interest and research history in evolutionary biology will not be considered further. We are looking for an individual with a Masters Degree or equivalent, who is highly self-motivated and can work independently. The working language in the laboratory is English. German
skills are not essential.
The Wagner lab at the University of Zurich studies biological evolution on all levels of organization, from genes, genomes, and genetic networks to whole organisms.
Ongoing projects range from laboratory evolution experiments in yeast to human population genomics. A sample of our research can be found at http://www.bioc.uzh.ch/wagner/.* *Lab members
are a group with very diverse backgrounds, research projects, and nationalities. They are unified by their interests in evolution and /or fundamental organizational principles of life. **
Zurich is a highly attractive city in beautiful surroundings, with a multinational population, and many educational and recreational opportunities.
To be considered, please send a single (!) PDF file merged from the following parts to jobs_aw@bioc.uzh.ch: CV including publication list (if available), a scanned academic transcript (list of grades in university courses), a statement of research interests not exceeding two pages, and three references. Please include the word COMP09 in the subject line. The application deadline is March 30, 2009. The earliest starting date is August 1, 2009.
