Postdoctoral Researcher in Microbial Population Genetics and Evolutionary Genomics at Basel University
The Zoological Institute at Basel University (Switzerland) is seeking a highly motivated post-doc with interest in the evolutionary genetics of host-parasite interactions. This position is funded to work on the evolutionary genetics/genomics of a bacterial parasite (Pasteuria ramosa) of Daphnia.
A background in evolutionary genetics, including knowledge of molecular methods is essential. Bioinformatics skills are a plus. Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal skills, a superb work ethic, and the ability to think creatively and critically are also desired. The starting date is flexible, and the positions are initially for two years, but can be extended to 3 years.
