PhD thesis in experimental evolutionary bioinformatics

April 7, 2008

PhD thesis in experimental evolution/evolutionary bioinformatics

A three-year Ph.D. studentship in evolutionary biology is available in
the laboratory of Andreas Wagner at the University of Zurich.
Applications will be considered for both experimental and computational
projects. 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 and research
projects, unified by their interests in evolution and /or fundamental
organizational principles of life.

A successful candidate for an experimental project will have substantial
research experience with microbiological and molecular biological
techniques, acquired in research projects with an evolutionary
orientation. Experience in performing microarray experiments will be a
plus. A successful candidate for a computational project 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 demonstrated 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, although helpful,
are not essential.

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 ?EXPCOMP? in the subject line. The application deadline is
April 28.
