[beasiswa] (Info)PhD student in Plant Evolutionary Biology : Vienna, Austria

 

Dear all,

FYI

A 3 years PhD position funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) is immediately available in the research group of Ovidiu Paun at the University of Vienna. The student will be involved in research on the evolution of wild Dactylorhiza allopolyploids (seewww.botanik.univie.ac.at/systematik/projects/dactylorhiza/), which include an array of sibling lineages that are ecologically and morphologically distinct. We will combine the most recent genomic and epigenomic technologies with field experiments to investigate the nature and adaptive value of the molecular diversity produced by iterative allopolyploidizations to result in rapid ecological diversification. Our final aim is to test if epigenetic variation can drive adaptation to different environments and play a role in speciation.

We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with an excellent academic track record. A MSc degree in a related discipline (e.g., genetics, bioinformatics, evolution, molecular ecology) is desirable. The successful candidate is expected to be able to demonstrate some previous experience in evolutionary studies. Experience with next generation sequencing methodology (wet lab or bioinformatics) is an advantage, but not a must. The student is expected to have excellent organization and communication skills. The position offers a competitive salary (of ca. €27,000 per year before tax according to FWF regulations including social and health security), the opportunity to attend at least one workshop/summer school and one international conference, and to shortly visit one of the labs of our collaborators. Field work across large European areas will be undertaken in early summer 2014.

The working language in the laboratory is English. German skills are not essential, but can be helpful for everyday life in Vienna. Vienna is a highly attractive city in beautiful surroundings, with a multinational population, and many educational and recreational opportunities. The presence of several outstanding research groups (see www.univie.ac.at/evolvienna/) make Vienna a hot spot of evolutionary research and offers ample opportunities for interactions with peers. 

To be considered please send your application per email to ovidiu.paun@univie.ac.at including your CV, a one page essay on the role of epigenetics in evolution and the names and contacts of three academic referees. Screening of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The latest preferred start date is January 1st, 2014.

best regards,
Andriati Ningrum
