Postdoctoral Professorship on Ecological Genomics
The Institute of Biology and Environmental Sciences belonging to the Faculty
of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oldenburg aims to
strengthen its profile in the fields of biodiversity, evolutionary biology, ecology
and neurosensory sciences by soliciting applications for a new full professorship
(W 3):
Ecological Genomics
Expected research areas involve transcriptomics to study the evolution of life
history traits in non-model organisms (higher plants or animals). Focal areas
should be the functional expression, characterization, and annotation of genes
and their products (gene to function). Preferred topics include the genetic basis
of organismic adaptability, for instance to abiotic stress or the genetic basis of
sensing.
All applicants should express a strong commitment to high standards in
teaching undergraduate and graduate courses.
A documented strong record of securing extramural funding is expected. All
applicants should complement the existing research strongholds in biodiversity and
evolution. Active involvement in future
collaborative research efforts within the Faculty is expected.
Qualifications are specified in § 25 NHG.
The University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. In order to
increase the percentage of female faculty members, female candidates with
equal qualification will be given preference. Applicants with disabilities will be
preferentially considered in case of equal qualification.
Please submit applications as a single PDF file to Carl von Ossietzky Universität
Oldenburg, Fakultät V, z.H. des Direktors des Instituts für Biologie
und Umweltwissenschaften, 26111 Oldenburg (ibu@uni-oldenburg.de).
This file should include a CV, a publication list, details on teaching experience,
copies of relevant certificates, and statements of research and teaching interests.
Applications should be submitted by February 21, 2014
