University of Zurich PhD thesis in Computational Evolutionary Genomics
May 15, 2008
PhD thesis in computational evolutionary genomics
A three-year Ph.D. studentship in evolutionary biology is available in
the laboratory of Andreas Wagner at the University of Zurich. 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.
The successful candidate 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
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 $B!H(BCOMP$B!I(B in the subject line. Applications will be considered
until the position has been filled.
