POSTDOCTORAL POSITION, ECOLOGICAL GENOMICS OF SOCIAL POLYMORPHISM,
LAUSANNE
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral position in the research
group of Michel Chapuisat (Department of Ecology and Evolution,
University of Lausanne). Our group studies social evolution, with a
focus on the structure and evolution of ant societies. Please look at
http://www.unil.ch/dee/page7000.html for information and references.
We have identified a social chromosome associated with variation in
colony queen number in the Alpine silver ant Formica selysi (Purcell
et al. Cur. Biol. 2014). We plan to study the origin and maintenance
of this polymorphism by combining genomic, behavioural and ecological
approaches. The focus will depend on the interest and background of
the postdoc, and there will be scope to accommodate personal ideas
or projects. The ideal candidate should have a solid background in
evolutionary biology and genomics. Experience in one or more of the
following areas would be an asset: population genomics, comparative
genomics, genotyping-by-sequencing, transcriptomics, evolutionary ecology,
experimental behavioural ecology.
Starting date is negotiable, from March 2015 onwards. The Department
of Ecology and Evolution is large and thriving, and provides excellent
facilities for research and training (see http://www.unil.ch/dee/).
Informal enquiries and applications should be sent to

. Applications should include a cover letter with
a statement of research interests and qualifications for the position,
complete CV with publication list, and contact details of three referees,
embedded in a single pdf file.
I will start reviewing the applications on December 19th, 2014, but will
continue to consider incoming applications until the position is filled.

interests of the doctoral student. We seek candidates with training
in evolutionary biology and genetics, and some specific expertise
in fields that are relevant for the project (e.g. molecular ecology,
genomics, bioinformatics, population genetics, behavioural ecology,
evolutionary ecology).
Starting date is negotiable, from March 2015 onwards. The Department
of Ecology and Evolution provides an excellent training environment for
PhD students (see http://www.unil.ch/dee/).
