1.) Postdoctoral position
The newly established Research Group Evolutionary Immunogenomics in the
Department of Evolutionary Ecology at the Max-Planck Institute for
Evolutionary Biology in Plön/Germany has an opening for a
Post-Doctoral Research Fellow
Our research explores the evolution of immunogenetic and genomic
variability and its implications for individual immunocompetence and
ultimately fitness. We are mainly focusing on data from human
populations, using a wide spectrum of approaches from molecular biology
and high-throughput sequencing to computational analyses and theoretical
modeling, but also employ experimental model systems (stickleback,
mouse) to test predictions in the lab. Our scientific motivation ranges
from pure curiosity about evolutionary processes to the desire to push
the practical boundaries of Evolutionary and Personalized Medicine.
Specific projects within the scheme of the lab are flexible and can be
tailored to skills and interest of the successful candidate.
The group is part of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
with its vibrant and collaborative research community of experimental,
computational, and theoretical labs that all share a common interested
in Evolutionary Biology. Cutting edge infrastructure is available at all
levels, including high-performance computer clusters, a next-gen
sequencing core facility, as well as molecular and experimental labs
with substantial fish and mouse rearing facilities. The institute also
maintains strong ties to Kiel University with large communities in
evolutionary biology and medical genetics. Furthermore, our lab is
currently collaborating on a number of projects with groups at Harvard
Medical School in Boston and the University of Texas in Austin. Working
language at the institute is English.
This position requires a PhD/Dr. in Evolutionary Biology, Computational
Biology, Genetics/Genomics or a related field. The ideal candidate has a
strong interest in evolutionary questions and is motivated to cross
interdisciplinary boundaries and think outside the box. Molecular and/or
computational experience is highly desirable and a background in
molecular evolution, population genomics and/or immunology a plus.
The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of
extension by up to two more years, based on performance. The starting
date is flexible and can be immediate. The Max Planck Fellowship is
competitive and includes additional support for health insurance and
family (if applicable). Furthermore, housing and living in this area is
very affordable. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more
handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The
Society also seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where
they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages female
candidates to apply. The institute is located in Plön, northern Germany,
in close proximity to the university cities of Kiel and Lübeck and not
far from Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany. Frequent train
connections allow for an easy commute between Plön and Kiel/Lübeck (each
30 min) and provide general access to the well-developed European train
network. Plön is surrounded by a beautiful landscape with many lakes and
provides ample opportunity for water sports and other outdoor activities.
To apply, please send a cover letter with your motivation/interests and
research experience (2 pages max), CV, and contact info of 2-3
references in one PDF file to lenz <a> evolbio.mpg.de, using the subject
line [UTF-8?]âPost-Doc in Evolutionary [UTF-8?]Immunogenomicsâ. Review of applications
will start Nov 15th and will continue until the position is filled.
Informal inquiries are welcome.
